We find Lame again, an other pupill of the “Ecole polytechnique” who considers again the analogy between the catenary and the thin vault stable under its own weight He improve the famous work of Coulomb who applies the theory of maximis and minimis to Architecture. Le scientific biography that follows shows a scientist who has been interrested in cristallography, elastic mediums, optics and heat, electricity and was convinced of the existence of a unitary theory in which an elastic ether would play a central role.
