"Eupalinos ou l'Architecte" is a philosophical dialogue written by the French poet and essayist Paul Valéry. First published in 1923, the work is a profound exploration of aesthetics, architecture, and the nature of artistic creation. The dialogue is set in the afterlife and features a conversation between the Greek philosopher Socrates and his disciple Phaedrus. Through their exchange, Valéry delves into the principles of architecture, using the historical figure of Eupalinos, an ancient Greek architect known for constructing the Tunnel of Samos, as a central reference point.

Valéry's text is not merely a treatise on architecture but a broader meditation on the creative process and the relationship between form and function. The dialogue format allows for a dynamic exploration of ideas, with Socrates and Phaedrus discussing the symbolic and practical aspects of building, the role of the architect, and the impact of architecture on human experience. Valéry uses the character of Eupalinos to illustrate the ideal architect, one who harmonizes technical skill with artistic vision, creating structures that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

"Eupalinos ou l'Architecte" reflects Valéry's deep engagement with classical philosophy and his interest in the intersections of art, science, and philosophy. The work is notable for its lyrical prose and its rich, allusive style, drawing on a wide range of cultural and intellectual references. It is considered one of Valéry's most important prose works and has been influential in the fields of architecture and aesthetics. The dialogue has been translated into several languages and continues to be studied for its insights into the nature of artistic creation and the enduring legacy of classical thought.
