Biography

Paul Marozeau was an Alsatian Art Deco architect from Mulhouse, who later lived and worked in Paris. He studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris from 1899-1905 and subsequently, he worked as an architect in Paris. In his early years he was inspired by, and cooperated with, Paul Friese, the architect of the Paris Metro Company. Marozeau constructed apartment buildings and banks in Paris and Le Havre. One of his best known buildings was the foundry designed for Société Alsacienne de Constructions Mécaniques (SACM) [Society of Alsatian Mechanical Engineering]. From 1936-42 he lived and worked in Boutigny, Eure-et-Loir associated with his son Jacques. In 1937 Marozeau designed the Pavilion of the United States at the “Arts et Techniques” exposition. He also realized projects in Algeria, El Salvador and Cambodia. He joined the Société des architectes diplômés du gouvernement (S.A.D.G.) in 1910, was appointed Chevalier of the Legion of Honor, and was awarded the War Cross between 1914-18. In the early 1930s, Marozeau was involved in a project for a swimming stadium in the community of Drancy near Paris, which, however, was built only 30 years later in a different form.
