Commento
En 1765, Jacques-Denis Antoine fut préféré aux architectes Étienne-Louis Boullée et François Dominique Barreau de Chefdeville pour la construction de ce nouveau bâtiment de style néoclassique. L'abbé Jean Delagrive propose de réaliser le projet sur les quais de la Seine, à l'emplacement de l'ancien hôtel de Conti, qui avait été racheté par la Ville de Paris pour construire un nouvel hôtel de ville. Un arrêt du Conseil retint définitivement ce site auquel Antoine adapta ses plans, un quadrilatère de 1 hectare composé de plusieurs cours. Le site n'était pas encore très bien desservi, mais l'emplacement était historique et les perspectives urbanistiques valorisantes.
La première pierre fut posée par l'abbé Terray le 30 avril 1771. La façade sur le quai, longue de 117 m, fut achevée en 1773 et le gros œuvre, ainsi que l'essentiel du décor, en 1775. Cet édifice, très admiré, valut à Antoine d'entrer en 1776 à l'Académie royale d'architecture. Certains critiquèrent toutefois la façade sur le quai, jugée d'une magnificence peu en accord avec le caractère d'une « manufacture »..
In 1765, Jacques-Denis Antoine was chosen over architects Étienne-Louis Boullée and François Dominique Barreau de Chefdeville for the construction of this new neoclassical-style building. Abbé Jean Delagrive proposed carrying out the project on the banks of the Seine, on the site of the former Hôtel de Conti, which had been purchased by the City of Paris to build a new town hall. A Council decree definitively selected this site, to which Antoine adapted his plans: a 1-hectare quadrilateral composed of several courtyards. The site was not yet very well served, but the location was historic and the urban perspectives were attractive. The first stone was laid by Abbot Terray on April 30, 1771. The 117-meter-long façade on the quayside was completed in 1773, and the main structure and most of the decoration were completed in 1775. This much-admired building earned Antoine admission to the Royal Academy of Architecture in 1776. However, some criticized the façade on the quayside, which was deemed to be of a magnificence that was hardly in keeping with the character of a \\\"manufactory.\\\"
