Noël Le Maresquier (6 August 1903 – 20 October 1982) was a French architect and one of the most prominent postwar architects of France.
Career[edit]
Born in Paris, he was the son of the prominent architect Charles Lemaresquier, and succeeded his father as head of the Beaux-Arts de Paris grande école.[1] He continued his father's Atelier Lemaresquier.[2] He was the brother-in-law of French Prime Minister Michel Debré.[3] Le Maresquier and his family are referred to as French "state nobility" by Pierre Bourdieu.[3]
In 1944 he was tasked with the reconstruction of several cities bombed by the Americans like Saint-Nazaire; he was a supporter of the clean slate approach, unlike Louis Arretche in Saint-Malo.[4][5][6]
Family[edit]
Le Maresquier was married to the Spanish noblewoman Conchita López de Tejada; their daughter Isabelle Le Maresquier was an accomplished equestrian in the 1960s and 1970s. Isabelle was the mother of Marie-Isabelle Hénin, the wife of the Chancellor of Austria, Alexander Schallenberg.[7]
