[30]. The idea probably originated with Soufflot, who had earlier proposed a similar plan for the cathedral of Rennes.

[37]. Kaufmann, who illustrates the Belanger project in Architecture in the Age of Reason, figure 169, dates it around 1808 on the ground that slaughterhouses first began to be built in Paris in that year. It is extremely unlikely, of course, that Hansen ever saw this project; but the similarity of his tower to Belanger’s indicates how closely he was in tune with his French contemporaries. In any case similar towers are to be found in the projects published by Durand in his Précis of 1802-5, which Hansen must have known (see Chapter [2]).
