Though lacking any formal education in architecture, Jean Prouvé (1901-1984) became one of the most influential architects of the twentieth century, boldly experimenting with new building designs, materials and methods. In order to preserve Prouvé's architectural and engineering legacy, the Galerie Patrick Seguin has worked tirelessly to promote Prouvé's 'constructional philosophy,' exhibiting his designs and showcasing his ecologically responsible methodologies. 'Jean Prouvé: 6x6 Demountable House and 8x8 Demountable House', the first two of nine monographs published by the gallery on Prouvé's housing modules, highlight the simplest of these modules.
