Jean-Baptiste Rondelet was an architectural theorist of the late Enlightenment era and chief architect of the church of Sainte-Geneviève. He published a treatise on Architecture between 1805 and 1816. He grew up and helped the world build the Panthéon. Which is still a site today standing 10 metres long by 84 metres wide, and 83 metres high it was an amazing sight. He was determined to finish this because his instructor Jacques Germain Soufflot died of cancer.
