Auguste Bluysen
Auguste Marie Joseph Bluysen (* 1868 in Corbeil-Essonnes , † 1952 in Louveciennes ) was a French Art Nouveau architect.
In 1897 he received the diploma of the École des Beaux-Arts and subsequently worked as an architect for the Colonial Ministry and the French Post and Telegraph Directorate. Bluysen designed the pavilion for the Paris World Exhibition in 1900 for the Lefèvre-Utile company and later two factory towers in Nantes for the same company, one of which, the Tour LU , has survived . As a result, he emerged primarily as a cinema, theater and thermal bath architect.
