L. -P. Baltard, who occupied the chair of architectural education at the Ecole Polytechnique from its establishment to 1797, drew up the "Tablequ analytique pour servir a l'etude de l'architecture", which completely represented his theory of architectural education at the Ecole. This paper attempts to analyze the "Tableau" and to clarify the significance of its presence at the beginning of the 19^<th> century. The "Tableau", which was not an exact table, actually expressed a way in which all the principles of architecural theory at the time could be considered simultaneously, and indicated that the relationships between the various ideas had more importance than each idea alone. J. -N. -L. Durand, succeeding Baltard, considered this "Tableau" and established another classification for architecture: "elements-parties-ensembles" based on practical building construction.
