Jacques Couëlle

Jacques Couëlle (1902–1996) was a French architect, whose work was marked by the movement known as architecture-sculpture.

His architecture, with its sculptural forms of concrete designed and carved,[1] evokes the movement of architecture-sculpture born after the war.

In 1946, Couëlle founded "the Research Centre of natural structures".

An eccentric character, he was a friend of Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dalí.

For his artistic merits, Couëlle was awarded the Legion of Honour at the French Academy.
