Eugène Beaudouin and Marcel Lods Pieter Uyttenhove

Laying the foundations for the field of industrialization, with a predilection for the use of metal, Beaudouin and Lods designed remarkable buildings in the inter-war period, two notable examples of which are L'ecole de plein air in Suresnes and Maison du peuple in Clichy. This work is the first monograph devoted to them.

Une histoire des ballons. Invention, culture matérielle et imaginaire, 1783-1909Marie Théabaud-Sorger

This reflection will give birth to the airship.
