  • François Cointeraux (1740–1830) was a French architect. He "discovered" pisé de terre (rammed earth) architecture in the Lyon region and promulgated its use in Paris. Born in Lyon, he is the nephew of a master mason, with whom he learns drawing, architecture and perspective. He starts working in his city of birth and in Grenoble as a construction entrepreneur and a land surveyor for Lyon until 1786, when he enters an examination of the , he is received in 1787, and moves to Paris the following year. There, he establishes several schools of rural architecture. His work at that time was mainly oriented towards the construction of incombustible rammed earth buildings built for agricultural purposes. In 1789, he is distinguished by the Royal Society of Agriculture of Paris. In year III of the revolutionary calendar, he is part of the Société des inventions et découvertes. He is the inventor of the crécise a mechanical device allowing the production of rammed earth bricks, he derives from this device another invention, l'épurateur de légumes, allowing to dry vegetables. He also invents the pierre carton and studies concrete. He was a productive author, producing 72 booklets relating to rammed earth construction, and these writings were translated and widely spread, helping this construction style to flourish. He is also interested in agriculture, being the first author, with in 1805 and 1810, to study rural construction in the French agronomy, in an apology of rammed earth and its use. He is also interested in manufactures built in an industrial style. He is the architect of dozens of rammed earth buildings in Lyon and its vicinity, in Grenoble, Amiens and Napoléon-Vendée, a town he was tasked to rebuild in 1807 by Emmanuel Crétet, Minister of the Interior and director of the Corps of Bridges, Waters and Forests of Napoleon. The town, destroyed during the French Revolution, was rebuilt by Cointeraux, his use of rammed earth is criticized by the Emperor, which describes his work as a "city of mud", and he is blamed of having wasted the means available to him.

  • François Cointeraux (Lione, 1740 – Parigi, 1830) è stato un architetto francese, nipote di un maestro muratore; fu da giovane indirizzato allo studio del disegno, della prospettiva e dell'architettura. Cointeraux, École d'Architecture Rurale, Paris 1791. Le sue prime esperienze lavorative sono nella città natale e successivamente, fino al 1786, a Grenoble, dove partecipa e vince il concorso bandito dall'Accademia di Amiens (1787). Si trasferisce a Parigi dove fonda una scuola di architettura rurale. Le sue opere si indirizzano al progetto e alla costruzione di edifici in pisé, strutture particolarmente resistenti al fuoco e adatte per le costruzioni agricole. Nel 1789 ottiene un riconoscimento per il suo lavoro dalla Société royale d'agriculture de Paris. Nell'anno III dalla Rivoluzione diventa membro della Société des inventions et découvertes di Parigi. Inventa una macchina per produrre mattoni di adobe (la crécise), dalla quale deriva una versione per il lavaggio della verdura in cucina. Inventa la pierre carton e si interessa alla produzione del calcestruzzo. Autore prolifico, pubblica 72 tra testi e opuscoli sulle costruzioni in terra cruda, in particolare sulla costruzione in pisé. I suoi scritti sono tradotti (tedesco, russo, danese, inglese, finlandese, italiano e portoghese) e diffusi in tutto il mondo, contribuendo a sviluppare questo tipo di costruzioni. Gli scritti dell'architetto francese suscitarono grande interesse in studiosi dell'architettura rurale e vernacolare quali Henry Holland (1745 - 1806) in Inghilterra, Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826) in America, (1748 - 1808) in Germania e (1751 - 1803) in Russia, quest'ultimo è stato il fondatore di una scuola di architettura in terra a Tiukhili nei pressi di Mosca sulla falsariga di quella fondata da Cointeraux a Parigi. Negli stessi anni si interessa al mondo dell'agricoltura e insieme a Léon II de Perthuis de Laillevault (1757 - 1818), negli anni 1805-1810, affronta il tema della costruzione degli edifici rurali nella campagna francese, promuovendo la costruzione in pisé. Costruisce diverse decine di edifici in pisé a Lione e nella campagna circostante, a Grenoble, ad Amiens e a Napoleone-Vandea. Infatti, nel 1807, Emmanuel Crétet, ministro degli Interni e direttore del Dipartimento di Ponts et Chaussées sotto Napoleone Bonaparte, gli affida l'incarico di ricostruire la città di La Roche-sur-Yon, distrutta dopo la Rivoluzione francese. Cointeraux sviluppa allora a grande scala il suo sistema costruttivo in pisé, anche se i suoi risultati furono criticati dall'imperatore per aver costruito "una città di fango". * Cointeraux: costruzione di muratura in pisé. * Cointeraux: fabbricato con muratura in pisé.
