Marius Michel Pasha

French architect (1819–1907)

Marius Michel Pasha is remembered for work that changed how the next generation built.

The record lists Marius Michel Pasha as French architect (1819–1907).

Marius Michel Pasha was born at Sanary-sur-Mer in 1819. His recorded nationality is France.

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 and businessperson.

Of all the arts, architecture is the one whose failures are hardest to remove.

Recognition followed: Knight 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.

Marius Michel Pasha died in 1907, aged 88. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
