Claude Vasconi

Claude Vasconi (24 June 1940 – 8 December 2009) was a French architect.

Vasconi was born in Rosheim, and was educated at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts et de l'Industrie in Strasbourg.

After designing two key projects as a young architect, Forum des Halles in the centre of Paris and the building of the Préfecture in Cergy-Pontoise, he became one of the most sought-after architects in France, with major projects in Montpellier, Strasbourg and Saint-Nazaire.

He died in Paris, aged 69.

Claude Vasconi has been credited as the pioneer proponent of the concept of "Angelina"-style cellular steel beams.
