Georges-Henri Pingusson

Georges-Henri Pingusson (July 26, 1894 – October 22, 1978) was a French architect.

[1] He built hotel Latitude 43 and several villas in the south of France.

1936 he greatly expanded Villa Ternisien in Paris, which had been designed by Pierre Jeanneret and Le Corbusier just nine years before and was almost completely demolished in the process.

[3][4][5] 1945-1950 Pingusson worked on a master plan for the reconstruction of Saarbrücken based on the ideals of the Athens Charter.

Waldwisse, destroyed in the war, was reconstructed according to his zoning plan, as was Briey-en-Fôret, where he designed several public buildings and invited Le Corbusier to build an Unité d'Habitation.
