Jean Dubuisson

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jean René Julien Dubuisson (born September 18, 1914 in Lille ; † October 22, 2011 in Nîmes ) was a French architect who is considered one of the leading practitioners of the French post-war years.

Career

“Patrimoine du XX e siècle” award from the Ministry of Culture and Communication on the “Les Érables” building in La Duchère (Lyon)

Dubuisson was the son of the architect Émile Dubuisson (1873-1947) and began to study architecture at the École des Beaux-Arts in Lille, which he continued at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris . In 1939 he obtained his diploma in Emmanuel Pontremoli's studio. In 1943 he took second place at the Prix ​​de Rome and in 1945 first place. He then lived from 1946 to 1949 in the Villa Medici in Rome and in Athens.

As part of the reconstruction after the massive destruction during the Second World War, Dubuisson took second place behind Eugène Beaudouin in a Strasbourg architecture competition in 1951 , which led to the government being commissioned to build housing projects.

Beyond the classical architecture, which he learned at the École des Beaux-Arts and on his travels in Italy and Greece, Dubuisson was strongly influenced by Mies van der Rohe , Arne Jacobsen and Walter Gropius . Dubuisson is considered to be one of the main characters in post-war architecture in France, especially when it comes to housing: the “ SHAPE Village” in Saint-Germain-en-Laye (1951–1952), La Caravelle in Villeneuve-la-Garenne (1959 –1967) and the Maine- Montparnasse apartment blocks in Paris (1959–1964). In total, he also designed around 20,000 social housing units. He is also known for the Musée national des arts et traditions populaires in Paris.

The designer Sylvain Dubuisson (* 1946) is a son of Jean Dubuisson.
