Summary: | The first part of the career of the architect and urban planner Eugène Beaudouin was marked by his fruitful collaboration with Marcel Lods, between 1925 and 1940. After the Second World war, Beaudouin took the lead alone as the head of his new architectural agency, yet sources reveal that he continued to work in the same way, collaborating with others. Between 1964 and 1967, agency correspondence shows nearly thirty-one collaborations, making this joint practice of the architectural profession a recurring feature of Eugène Beaudouin’s office. This contribution aims to offer another view of the production of the Grand Prix de Rome-winning architect, who himself revealed very little about his way of working, by shedding light on the different strategies that led to their association.
