Stéphen Sauvestre belongs to the record of architecture as a figure whose buildings outlasted the taste that commissioned them.
The record lists Stéphen Sauvestre as French architect (1847–1919).
Stéphen Sauvestre was born at Bonnétable in 1847. His recorded nationality is France. He trained at Special School of Architecture.
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 Eiffel Tower, New Menier chocolate factory, so-called the Cathedral building and Villa Les Bleuets. Architecture is the art that cannot be avoided: people live inside the argument.
Recognition followed: Knight 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.
Stéphen Sauvestre died in 1919, aged 72. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
