Pierre Caye – As Research Director at the CNRS, he devotes his research to artistic theories from the Renaissance to the Enlightenment, with a particular focus on architecture. In 2012, he founded the Groupement de recherche international sur “les savoirs artistiques et les traités d’art de la Renaissance aux Lumières” (International Research Group on “Artistic Knowledge and Art Treatises from the Renaissance to the Enlightenment”). In collaboration with Françoise Choay, he translated and commented on Alberti’s L’Art d’édifier (Le Seuil, 2004). More recently, he has also published two works on sustainable development: Critique de la destruction créatrice. Production et humanisme (Les Belles Lettres, 2015) and Durer. Éléments pour la transformation du système productif (Les Belles Lettres, 2020).
