....the modern art of camouflage?

The frontispiece to Laugier's Essay of 1753 - which urged contemporary architects
to keep in mind the primitive origins of architecture in the little rustic hut.
______________________________________________________

Would he have found these "modern huts" acceptable (to him today)?
...or is this more a modern art of camouflage?
