Important work on the profound changes that iron and cast iron combined with brick would bring to the art of construction. A few years earlier, Viel had criticized the use of iron, mainly in stonework, but from the beginning of the 19th century, work on the construction of buildings and bridges in iron (Séguin) logically led to the use of this material for long-span buildings, but not only, as examples are given here of the Moscow triumphal arch and the transformations of the Palais Royal.
