Biography

[edit]

Born on 21 December 1947, Lucan earned an Architecture Diploma of the French Government [fr] in Paris in 1972. He served as editor-in-chief of the magazine Architecture Mouvement Continuité [fr] from 1978 to 1988. He joined the École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Paris-Belleville in 1981 and taught theories on architectural composition and urban theories and doctrines in transformation of cities.[2] He created publications on his research on criticisms, theories, and history of architecture and was the author of several books.[citation needed]

In 1993, Lucan began his participation in town planning competitions, creating four housing buildings and a library in Paris and urban developments in Île d'Yeu. In October 1997, he became a professor of architectural theory at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL).[3] From 2006 to 2008, he directed the "Architecture, ville, histoire" doctoral program at the EPFL's Faculty of Natural Environment.[4] In 1998, he co-founded the École d’architecture de la ville & des territoires à Marne-la-Vallée, which became the École d'Architecture Marne-la-Vallée, and taught there until 2020.

Jacques Lucan died on 8 October 2023, at the age of 75.[5]
