Auguste Perret, the son of a builder, attended the Ecole des Beaux - Arts in the last 800 years, but did not get a diploma while working in the company of his father.
The first major work is the house No. 25 bis rue Franklin in Paris, completed in 1903, where for the first time the skeleton of reinforced concrete is used to bind the outer appearance.
It is closed using a strip of land between the buildings, rather broad and shallow. It would be very difficult to achieve such a body with ordinary masonry. Similar difficulties distribution, often in Paris, the high cost of land, are already often resolved with a skeleton structures, iron or concrete for a few years.
iron and cement, however, remain inside, hidden behind a wall as the facade of Horta Tassel House. The garage
rue Ponthieu, in 1905, is also resolved that the skeleton of reinforced concrete cast on the facade, determine its composition, here there is only a frame of beams and pillars that plastered framed windows of various sizes.
In these two works, classroom and theater of the Champs Elysees in 1911, are already fully delineated characters architecture Perret, who remain steadfast in the wonderful works of the postwar period, the industrial tailoring Esders, the churches of Notre Dame du Raincy and Montmagny, theater for the exhibition of decorative arts of '25, the hall of the Scuola Normale de Musique, the State Museum of the furniture and offices for technical services of shipbuilding, the house on the rue Raynouard, he established his studio: the rigorous construction, the formal simplification and courageous with the stubborn loyalty to certain traditional rules of composition.
A concrete structure of the type used by Perret consists of a skeleton of columns and beams to which they rely on the horizontal structures, the external walls and any partitions internal.
A whole century of experience has tested and consolidated this convention by which they were born all the advances of modern technology.
