Marcel Roux (1909 - 1993) Marcel Roux is known for his significant contributions to early 20th century architecture in France, particularly in the field of social housing and the modernization of urban structures. Roux studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and later worked closely with renowned architects such as Le Corbusier. He was strongly influenced by modernism and the principles of functionalism, which is reflected in his clear, rational designs. His work encompassed both public and private projects, placing great emphasis on improving the quality of life through architectural solutions. His interest in form and design and the associated passion for art in general led to a remarkable collection of African figures and masks as well as numerous friendships with well-known collectors and art dealers such as Charles Ratton.
