| biography:
| Architect, born in Douai, N France. In 1869 he received the Grand Prix award at the École des Beaux-Arts where he later taught. He designed a number of buildings, but is best known for the Galérie des Machines at the Paris International Exhibition (1900), with the engineer Victor Contamin. The building was a key development in modern architecture because of its vast scale and use of new technology and materials - metal and glass. |
