A representative French Art Nouveau architect. Born in Lyon. Studied at the Ecole des Arts Décoratifs and the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. He began his design career in the late 1880s, and distinguished himself with the Sacred Heart in Paris (1895), which was significantly influenced by Viollet-le-Duc. In 1895, he travelled to England and Belgium, and was particularly impressed by the work of Horta, returning to Paris where he made a clear move towards Art Nouveau design with his design for Castel Bélanger (1899). He created organic and original architectural spaces using steel frames in such buildings as the Paris Metro Stations (1900) and the Halle des Musées d'Ambres de Romanes (1901). He also produced many excellent residential works. He moved to America in 1938, and died in New York.

フランスのアール・ヌーボーを代表する建築家。リヨンに生まれる。装飾美術学校およびエコール・デ・ボザールに学ぶ。1880年代後半から設計活動を始め、ビオレ・ル・デュックの影響の顕著なパリの聖心学院(1895)で頭角を現す。95年、イギリス、ベルギーを旅し、とくにオルタの仕事に衝撃を受けてパリに帰り、カステル・ベランジェ(1899)の設計ではっきりとアール・ヌーボーの意匠へ踏み切った。パリ地下鉄駅舎群(1900)、アンベール・ド・ロマン音楽堂(1901)などで鉄骨造の有機的で独創的な建築空間を創造。ほかに住宅建築に優れた作品が多い。1938年アメリカへ渡り、ニューヨークで没した。 [長谷川堯] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
