Henri Labrouste French architect who was among the first to use metal construction successfully (1801-1875) Henri Labrouste is one of the few nineteenthcentury architects who have been lionized consistently as precursors of modern architecture throughout the twentieth century and into our own time. The two magisterial glass-and-iron reading rooms Labrouste built in Paris from the 1840s through the 1860s gave form to the idea of the modern library as a great collective civic space, and his influence was immediate and long lasting on both the development of the modern library and the exploration of few paradigms of space, materials, and luminosity in places of public assembly. Labrouste’s architecture pushed the capabilities of materials and building technologies. The sublime reading rooms of the two Parisian libraries, the Bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève (1838–50) and the Bibliothèque nationale (1859–75) evoke a drama created by exposed metal frameworks, thin masonry walls, and stunning luminosity.
