The work of Fernand Pouillon, the "most wanted architect in France" after being imprisoned and mysteriously escaping in the 1960s, seems to have faded into the background today. However, in 50 years he built more than 5 million square meters, mainly between France and Algeria. At a frantic pace, Fernand Pouillon travels tens of thousands of kilometers per week, by propeller plane, to reach construction sites at night between Marseille, Paris, Algiers or in the middle of the desert, until he burned his wings. Among others, Fernand Pouillon decided to build houses for the most modest. The beauty and quality of Fernand Pouillon's housing estates prove that this much maligned architect may have found a remedy for what is known as the "pathology" of large housing projects.
