"De la Distribution des Maisons de Plaisance et de la Décoration des Édifices en Général" is a seminal work on architecture by the French architect and theorist Jacques-François Blondel. Published in two volumes in 1737 and 1738, this treatise is considered one of the most influential architectural texts of the 18th century. It provides a comprehensive guide to the design and decoration of country houses and the general principles of building aesthetics.

Blondel's work is divided into several sections, each addressing different aspects of architectural design. The treatise begins with a discussion on the proper distribution and arrangement of rooms in a country house, emphasizing the importance of functionality, comfort, and beauty. It then moves on to cover the architectural elements of buildings, including facades, gardens, and interior decorations, with a focus on the integration of classical principles and contemporary taste.

The text is richly illustrated with engravings that demonstrate Blondel's design concepts, showcasing a variety of architectural plans, elevations, and details. These visual aids were instrumental in disseminating Blondel's ideas across Europe, influencing the development of residential architecture during the period.

"De la Distribution des Maisons de Plaisance et de la Décoration des Édifices en Général" reflects Blondel's educational approach to architecture, as he was also the founder of the École des Arts et Métiers in Paris, which later became the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts. His treatise not only served as a practical guide for architects and builders but also as a theoretical foundation for students of architecture.

Jacques-François Blondel's work remains a valuable historical source for understanding the architectural thought and practice of the Enlightenment. It is a testament to the era's quest for a rational and harmonious approach to architectural design, combining utility with classical beauty.
