Jean Nicolas Jadot de Ville-Issey
Jean Nicolas Jadot de Ville-Issey (born January 22, 1710 in Lunéville , † June 1, 1761 in Ville-Issey) was an architect from Lorraine .
Without any actual architectural training, he became court architect of the Duke of Lorraine Franz Stephan . When he later became Grand Duke of Tuscany and Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire , he moved with him to Florence and Vienna , where he was responsible for court buildings until 1753.
The first plans for the Redoutensaal tract of the Vienna Hofburg go back to him, but this was only tackled by his successor Nikolaus Pacassi . Today's Michaelerplatz , which lies between the Hofburg and Kohlmarkt , was redesigned by him.
Other important court orders were the pavilions and menagerie buildings in Schönbrunn Zoo and the expansion of the Capuchin Crypt .
Its most important building in Vienna is the auditorium of the old university ( 1753 ) on Ignaz-Seipel-Platz , today the seat of the Austrian Academy of Sciences . It is kept in the style of the French classicist baroque and does without any reference to local traditions.
Soon after construction began, he was replaced by Pacassi and moved to Brussels .
