Fernand Pouillon, le roman d'un architecteFernand Pouillon, an Architect's Novel
Born in 1912, Fernand Pouillon designed his first building in Aix-en-Provence, when he was 22. In 50 years, he has designed and executed more than two million square meters, mostly in France and Algeria. But this dazzling career ran into a obstruction in 1960 with the CNL scandal. He was ruined, imprisoned and struck off the register, and one would have thought him a finished man. But he bounced back, returning to post-independence Algeria to resume his flamboyant career. This documentary covers the highlights of a life of energy and achievement. From Marseille, to Aix, Algiers, Paris and Timimoun, the film describes the destiny of this architectural genius.
