École nationale supérieure d'architecture de Marseille-Luminy

The École nationale supérieure d'architecture de Marseille-Luminy is a French school of architecture.

In 1812, a section of architecture was created, a subject mainly taught at the École Polytechnique (France) with a strong civil engineering component.

This education allowed students to acquire the basics before entering the École Nationale supérieure des beaux-arts in Paris, which was the only one authorized to issue the architect's diploma at the time.

In 1967, the school of fine arts and architecture moved from the Place Carli, in the center of Marseille, to Luminy.

Its new premises were designed by the architect René Egger under the impulse of Gaston Defferre and François Bret, its director since 1961.
