Jacques-Raymond Lucotte



Jacques-Raymond Lucotte was an 18th-century French architect and encyclopedist.

A former student of the Académie royale d'architecture, Lucotte wrote the articles "maçonnerie", "marbrier", "marqueterie", "menuiserie", "mosaïque (art. méchaniques)", "plomberie", "pont, des machines", "fleuriste", "formier", "tourbissure", "ganterie" and "serrurerie" in the volumes IX to XVII of the Encyclopédie by Diderot and D’Alembert. He also provided more than 45 comments and over 650 drawings to the plate volumes.

Lucotte left two works:
 * le Vignole moderne, ou Traité élémentaire d’architecture (3 vol., Paris, 1772–1784)
 * l’Art de la maçonnerie (Paris, 1783)
