======================================
Augustin-Charles d'Aviler (or Daviler) (1653 – 23 June 1701) was a 17th-century French architect.
He was one of the main promoters of the vignolesc canon, but far from simply publishing it, he developed it by proposing variations of motifs to give more flexibility and expressiveness to the rigid system of the five orders.
