Biography[]
Born in Lyon, France, in 1934, he received a degree in law from the Institut d'études politiques de Lyon in 1955.[2] He lived and worked in Paris between 1959 and 1993.

From 1969 to 1974 he created a series of works under the general title of "Organisations d'espace" (English: "Space Organizations").[4][5]
