"Perspective View of the House of the Director of the Salt Works in the Ideal City of Chaux" is a seminal architectural drawing by the French architect Claude Nicolas Ledoux (1736–1806), a prominent figure in the Neoclassical movement. This work is part of Ledoux's ambitious project for the Royal Saltworks at Arc-et-Senans, located in the Franche-Comté region of eastern France. The drawing, dating from the late 18th century, encapsulates Ledoux's visionary ideas for an ideal city centered around the saltworks, embodying principles of utopian socialism and architectural innovation that were radical for their time.

The illustration depicts the proposed residence for the director of the saltworks, designed not merely as a functional dwelling but as a symbolic representation of the enlightenment and control central to Ledoux's utopian vision. The architecture combines classical elements with a stark simplicity and geometric clarity, reflecting Ledoux's belief in the moral and social power of architectural form. The house, as with the entire city of Chaux project, was intended to facilitate a harmonious community, where architecture played a key role in influencing human behavior and social organization.

Though the complete vision for the City of Chaux was never realized, the Royal Saltworks was constructed and stands today as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, testament to Ledoux's innovative ideas and his influence on the development of modern architectural theory and urban planning. "Perspective View of the House of the Director of the Salt Works in the Ideal City of Chaux" remains a crucial document in the history of architecture, illustrating the extent of Ledoux's ambition and his radical departure from traditional architectural practices of his time. Through this work, Ledoux not only reimagined the relationship between architecture and society but also laid the groundwork for future generations of architects to explore the potential of utopian and visionary projects.
