Paul Abadie is remembered in technology for work that changed what came after it.
The record lists Paul Abadie as French architect and building restorer (1812–1884).
Paul Abadie was born at Paris in 1812. His recorded nationality is France. He was educated at Beaux-Arts de Paris.
The nineteenth century professionalised nearly everything: salaried posts, formal training, and audiences large enough to sustain a career.
Paul Abadie is described as architect, restorer and visual artist.
Among his principal works are Synagogue, Sacré-Cœur and Church of St. Georges de Perige. The engineer's achievement usually disappears into infrastructure, which is the point.
His recorded fields of work are architecture.
Formal recognition came in the shape of the Officer of the Legion of Honour (1869).
Working from France shaped what was possible - the audiences within reach, the institutions that would have him, the language the work first appeared in.
Death came in 1884, at 72. By then the contribution had passed into the settled record.
