Jacques Ignace Hittorff

Jakob Ignaz Hittorff (, ) (Cologne, 20 August 1792 – 25 March 1867) was a German-born French architect who combined advanced structural use of new materials, notably cast iron, with conservative Beaux-Arts classicism in a career that spanned the decades from the Restoration to the Second Empire.
==Biography==
After serving an apprenticeship to a mason in his native city, he went in 1810 to Paris, and studied for some years at the Académie des beaux-arts working concurrently as a draughtsman for Charles Percier. At the Académie he was a favourite pupil of the government architect François-Joseph Bélanger, who employed him in the construction of one of the first cast-iron constructions in France, the cast-iron and glass dome of the grain market, ''Halle au Blé'' (1808–13); in 1814 Bélanger appointed him his principal inspector on construction sites. Succeeding Bélanger as government architect in 1818, he designed many important public and private buildings in Paris and also in the south of France. From 1819 to 1830 in collaboration with Jean-François-Joseph Lecointe he directed the royal fêtes and ceremonials, for which elaborate temporary structures were required, a post with a long history,〔It had been in the care of the ''Menus-Plaisirs du Roi'' under the Ancien Régime.〕 which the two architects inherited from Bélanger. He also designed a new building for the Théâtre de l'Ambigu-Comique with Lecointe.
After making architectural tours in Germany, England, Italy and Sicily, he published the result of his Sicilian observations in ''Architecture antique de la Sicile'' (3 vols, 1826–1830; revised, 1866–1867), and also in ''Architecture moderne de la Sicile'' (1826–1835).
One of his important discoveries was that colour had been employed in ancient Greek architecture, a subject which he especially discussed in ''Architecture polychrome chez les Grecs'' (1830) and in ''Restitution du temple d'Empédocle à Sélinonte'' (1851); in accordance with the doctrines enunciated in these works he was in the habit of making colour an important feature in most of his architectural designs.
In 1833 Hittorff was entrusted with redesigning the Place de la Concorde, carried out in stages between 1833 and 1846. In 1836 the obelisk of Luxor was erected and the two ''Fontaines de la Concorde'', one commemorating river navigation and commerce and the other ocean navigation and commerce, were placed on either side. At each angle of the square's extended octagon a statue was erected representing a French city: Bordeaux, Brest, Lille, Lyon, Marseille, Nantes, Rouen and Strasbourg.
With Thomas Leverton Donaldson and Charles Robert Cockerell, Hittorff was also a member of the committee formed in 1836 to determine whether the Elgin Marbles and other Greek statuary in the British Museum had originally been coloured; their conclusions were published in ''Transactions of the Royal Institute of British Architects'', 1842.
His principal buildings are the church of St Vincent de Paul in the basilica style, which was constructed in partnership with Jean-Baptiste Lepère, 1830 – 1844, and the ''Cirque d'hiver'' also in Paris, which opened as the ''Cirque Napoléon'' in 1852. Its 20-sided polygon around an oval central ring or stage surrounded by steeply tiered seating, is covered by a polygonal roof with no central post to mar the sightlines.
Hittorff also designed the Circus of the Empress, the Rotunda of the panoramas, the Gare du Nord (1861–63), many cafés and restaurants on the Champs-Élysées, the facades forming the circle round the Arc de Triomphe in ''Place de l'Étoile'', besides many embellishments in the Bois de Boulogne and other places. In 1833 he was elected a member of the Académie des Beaux-Arts.
A project that failed to please Napoleon III was Hittorff's proposal for the ''palais de l'Industrie'' to be constructed in 1853 to house the Exposition Universelle of 1855. On 27 March 1852, the ''Prince-Président''— soon to declare himself Emperor— decreed this exhibition take place in a hall to rival the Crystal Palace of the 1851 Great Exhibition in London. Hittorff's solution, an immense hall of iron and glass, was too audacious, and the commission passed to other architects, and a conservative compromise was effected.〔(Émile Zola, "Deux Expositions d'art au mois de Mai" ), June 1876〕
Hittorff was part of the team that designed the Grand Hôtel du Louvre in Paris, which opened in 1855 in time for the Exposition Universelle. He worked on this project with Alfred Armand (1805-88) Auguste Pellechet (1829-1903) and Charles Rohault de Fleury (1801-75).
