Émile Vaudremer belongs to the record of architecture as a figure whose buildings outlasted the taste that commissioned them.
The record lists Émile Vaudremer as French architect (1829–1914).
Émile Vaudremer was born at former 11th arrondissement of Paris in 1829. His recorded nationality is France. He trained at Beaux-Arts de Paris.
Industrialisation gave architecture iron, glass and the lift, and with them the problems of the railway station, the factory and the tall city block.
He is recorded as architect.
Among his best-known works are La Santé Prison, Saint-Pierre-de-Montrouge and Notre-Dame-d'Auteuil. Architecture is the art that cannot be avoided: people live inside the argument.
Recognition followed: Prix de Rome, resident at the Villa Medici, Commander of the Legion of Honour and Officer of the Legion of Honour.
That the work was built in France shaped it: climate, materials, planning law and who holds the budget all decide what can actually be built.
Émile Vaudremer died in 1914, aged 85. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
