                               表現手法

                                                
                                       Boullee喜歡用單純的幾何體在新古典教堂中，拱形屋頂以規則的corinthian

                                                 柱子排列成柱廊來支撐著，古典的細部充滿在分割拱頂的小壁龕中，繪畫、

                                                 雕刻充滿壁龕，在外部還有如火炬般的裝飾。進入神壇的路上冒著煙穿過神

                                                 聖的空間日光經由中央圓頂進入室內，照亮神壇，充滿了戲劇性的效果，並

                                                 且在柱子背後製造陰影。利用對稱、韻律與多樣化錯綜複雜的細部和大氣結

                                                 合建築物的修飾來達到精神及情感上的感應。

                                  綜合評論

                                                   
                                                   雖然Boullee的設計很少被實現，但它提供了許多想像的建築 ，當時的建築師受

                                                   啟蒙運動的影響，思考了古典建築的理性問題，帶來了各種建築的可能性，而

                                                   Boullee正為這個時期的建築師提供了一連串的思考方向，將建築邁向不只是蓋

                                                   出來的房子而已，而是已經在思考建築物內在的本質了。
