Pierre Meillassoux (/ˌmeɪəˈsuː/; French: [mɛjasu]; born 1928) is a French architect. He designed many high-rise residential buildings in Marseille.
Early life
Pierre Meillassoux was born in 1928 in Perreux.[1] He received a degree in Architecture in 1957.[1] One of his professors was architect Fernand Pouillon.[2]
Career
He designed many high-rise buildings in Marseille.[1] He designed La Castellane in the 1960s.[1] For this, he was inspired by master architect Xavier Arsène-Henry and, to a certain extent, Oscar Niemeyer.[1] Moreover, he designed the Parc des Amandiers in the 12th arrondissement in 1961; the Nouveau Parc Verdillon in the 10th arrondissement in 1965; Clair Soleil in the 11th arrondissement in 1966; the Résidence les Borels in the 15th arrondissement in 1969.[1]
He went on to design more high-rise buildings in the 1970s. He designed L'Emérigone in the 13th arrondissement in 1970; Château Saint-Jacques in the 11th arrondissement in 1971; Beausite in the 13th arrondissement in 1972.[1] With architects Pierre Mathoulin and Jean Rozan, he designed La Bricarde in the 15th arrondissement in 1973.[1] A year later, in 1974, he designed Les Escourtines in the 11th arrondissement, also with Mathoulin.[1] That same year, he designed Le Bosquet in the 11th arrondissement.[1] Two years later, in 1976, he designed Baille Marengo in the 6th arrondissement.[1]
His plans to design high-rise buildings with Pierre Pascalet on Port-Cros and Porquerolles were rejected by other architects, including Serge Antoine.[3]
