Depuis Viollet-le-Duc, aucun dictionnaire n���a ��t�� tent�� pour l���histoire de la construction alors que de nouveaux rapports s���installent entre le citadin politis�� et ses milieux. Les Acad��mies ont conserv�� les arts et m��tiers. Les Encyclop��distes expos��rent �� l���ordre et l���encha��nement des connaissances humaines ��. La fin du XIXe s. a m��moris�� les constructions. A l���or��e du XXe s., les savoirs d��passent l���entendement. Un dictionnaire collectif mettrait en relief les termes et les sens in��dits.
Since Viollet-le-Duc, no one has tried to create a dictionary about the history of construction; meanwhile new relationships have developed between the politicized city dweller and the surrounding environment. The Academies preserved the arts and crafts. The Encyclop��distes elucidated ���the order and sequence of human knowledge.��� The end of the nineteenth century enshrined construction in memory. At the dawn of the twentieth century, the scope of knowledge was beyond any reckoning. A collaborative dictionary would spotlight new terms and meanings.
