Abstract
This work analyzes the relation between theory and practice and one of the hits of the development of dome theory. As in the case of Saint Peters dome, the construction of the new church of Sainte-Geneviève, known later as French Pantheon, at Paris, is a remarkable case of this relation in the second middle of the XVIII th century. It is the first time that the scientific knowledge about the vaults and domes was applied to a real case before its construction. Architects, engineers and mathematicians studied Soufflots project, and mainly the dimensions of the piers, that the architect Patte found not enough resistant to support the future dome. Patte based his argumentation on La Hires method and on traditional rules of proportion. This research analyses Pattes document in the context of the debate about the project for Sainte Genevièves church by Soufflot
