Courtesy of Wikipedia:Paul Sédille(1836–1900) was aFrencharchitectand theorist; and designed the 1880 reconstruction of the iconicMagasins du Printempsdepartment storeinParis. Though Sédille is best known for his Printemps design, he was also associated with the Creusot family foundry and was very active in professional associations and architectural education in the 1880s. He wrote a number of compelling pieces of architectural criticism, especially his review of and reflected what were by and largeTeutonictheoretical concerns that have come to be understood asarchitectural realism, based on the works ofGottfried Semper.
Directly related to his interest inSemper, Sédille was an advocate of highly-colouredpolychromearchitecture. His participation in theUniversal Expositionsof 1878 and 1889 inPariswere demonstration pieces of his approach of integrating colorfulterra cottatilework and structural into the vocabulary of classical, beaux-arts architectural forms.
Sédille made his mark as a private architect executing residential commissions during an age that celebrated heroic, civic works such as theParis Opéra(1860–1875) byCharles Garnieror thePalais de Justice(Paris, 1857–68) byJoseph-Louis DucandHonoré Daumet.
