In the history of building, Michel Mossessian is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Michel Mossessian as French architect.
Michel Mossessian was born at Paris in 1959. His recorded nationality is France. He trained at Beaux-Arts de Paris and Cooper Union.
Post-war architecture built at state scale: housing, new towns and civic megastructures, with results that are still being judged.
He is recorded as architect.
An architect is judged by how a building is used a century after the drawings.
Recognition followed: MIPIM and Holcim Awards for Sustainable Construction.
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.
Michel Mossessian is still practising, and the body of work is not yet complete.
