In the history of building, Pierre Contant d'Ivry is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Pierre Contant d'Ivry as French architect (1698–1777).
Pierre Contant d'Ivry was born at Ivry-sur-Seine in 1698. His recorded nationality is France.
Baroque and neoclassical building served courts, churches and states, and architecture became an instrument of display.
He is recorded as architect.
Among his best-known works are Église Saint-Wasnon de Condé-sur-l'Escaut, Château d'Arnouville (Val-d'Oise) and Château de Stors. An architect is judged by how a building is used a century after the drawings.
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.
Pierre Contant d'Ivry died in 1777, aged 79. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
