French architect Claude Nicolas Ledoux proposed a grandiose ideal city for the Royal Saltworks at Arc-et-Senans, or Salines de Chaux. In addition to the city being built near the forest that would supply the fuel for the drying pans of saline water that flowed to the works by canal, the shape of the buildings would explain their identify and function, i.e. the hoop makers houses were shaped as barrels.
