A man of conviction, Paul Chemetov was among the architects and urban planners who, from the 1950s and 1960s, kicked the anthill, shaking up the certainties of the academicism of the Beaux-Arts. An active member of the AUA cooperative from 1960 to 1985, whose radicalism opened a breach in the conventional architecture of the post-war period, he always advocated for a collective, political, social and reflective practice. A prolific designer of social housing and public buildings, teaching in several schools of architecture, he often wrote and made his voice heard on the most contemporary issues. Served by a writing with a personal style and not devoid of humor, his analytical gaze here focuses on his own life. On the training he followed, his positions, his founding encounters and the major stages of his career. The story of this long architectural journey, strewn with joys and obstacles, is the self-portrait of a committed personality, in which is reflected half a century of an intense social and political life. The one during which he became that architect.
