s et plus de12,000 maisons — date une nouvelle phase de larchitecture enAngleterre. La reconstruction de la plus grande partie de la ville,vers lest, allait mettre en lumière le génie de sir Christopher Wreii.

Le jeune Wren montra de bonne heure quil était dune intelligenceapte à tout embrasser et à tout comprendre. A treize ans il inventaitun appareil astronomique et, quelques années plus tard, il perfection-nait le baromètre. Après avoir complété ses études à Oxford, il était, àvingt-cinq ans, nommé professeur dastronomie au Gresham Collège.Passionné pour les mathématiques, il étudiait
