Biography

Its studies of architecture to beautiful arts finished, it will spend the period of the crisis of Entre-deux-guerres by carrying out the house of elegance in particular to the World Fair of 1937.

The post-war period and the enormous requirement in social housing will devote it like the representative determining of the new French architecture, taken between the concern of developing processes of industrial premises and of not forgetting the Man like structuring element.

the Grande Borne (Grigny (the Essonne), France, 1969) is the prototype even of what it will call of his wishes. Lines sinuous and coloured, buildings of two or four stages maximum curving around places and of lanes with human size, punctuated of poetic references, and recreating the requirements of the Agora citizen. The motor vehicle absence of traffic in its center in made the " City of Enfants". She will be imitated by Chanteloup the Vines in Yvelines.

Compared with the architectural errors of the bars of many cities HLM, and in spite of the crisis which the suburbs could know as from the years 1980, those which lived at the Grande Borne in common have the memory of a Utopia abolishing the borders between classes.
