Designs of the Old World-Visionaries or Recorders?

An exploration into the supposed imaginary and surrealist works of two distinct French architects from the late 18th through early 19th Centuries. The historical accounts are conflicting and confused concerning these two designers of buildings. We are left with many drawings and designs of remarkable buildings that seem imaginary in scale and intricacy, yet they reflect many details seen in buildings standing to this day.
