«Grammaire des immeubles parisiens» is Claude Mignot's architecture essay, published by Parigramme in 2004 in paperback (205 pages, in French).
The work surveys six centuries of Parisian façades, from the Middle Ages to the present day, and offers keys to reading their ornamental elements: doorways, continuous balconies, bow windows, corbels, mascaron and caryatids. Jacques Lebar's photographs illustrate the evolution of styles and help appreciate the urban landscape as an attentive pedestrian would see it.
The full subtitle is «Six siècles de façades du Moyen Âge à nos jours»; the volume belongs to the collection «Paris guides illustrés et thématiques» and includes bibliographic references.
For the curious pedestrian and for readers interested in the architecture and urban history of Paris.
