Henry Pottier

Henry Eugène Pottier (21 February 1912 – 7 September 2000), often erroneously written as Henri Pottier, was a French architect. A disciple of Victor Laloux,[1] he won a Prix de Rome in 1944.[2]
As it was customary to fill the position of Architecte en chef des bâtiments civils et palais nationaux (English: Chief Architect of Civilian Buildings and National Palaces) from among recipients of the award, Pottier ascended to the function in 1968.[3]
An adherent to the Athens Charter, he is perhaps best known to the general public as the chief architect of the Front de Seine, a major 1970s redevelopment in the 15th arrondissement of Paris, and several entertainment facilities in the Principality of Monaco, for whose government he was a consulting architect.[3] He designed many public buildings, first in his native Eure, then in the Paris region during the 1960s and 1970s.[4]
