| Abstract |
This paper tried to investigate the features of French garden pavillons (jardin pavillons) in the 17th and 18th centuries, in which the royal
built them, publicly enjoying culture or privately having a refuge. The scope of the garden pavilions covered those associated with a pleasure
place that accommodated performances, dancing, and dinners. They included not only rustic, Chinese, Turkish and Gothic pavilions but also
grottos, nymphaeums, and artificial ruins built for banquets and festivals. This paper identified the features of the 17th and 18th century
French garden pavilions as follows: Those pavilions firstly established French Neoclassicism, secondly applied the techniques of pastiche,
thirdly reflected women's influence, and lastly revealed the short cycles of their vicissitudes. In conclusion this study, with the summary of
the main text, explained the influence of the French pavilions on Europe and America. |
