Roux-Spitz, Michel
(b Lyon, 13 June 1888; d Dinard, 15 July 1957). French architect. The son of a local architect, François-Michel Augustin Roux, he began his architectural studies in 1908 at the Ecole Régionale des Beaux-Arts, Lyon. There he met Tony Garnier, who encouraged him to complete his studies in Paris. He entered the studios of Eugène Duquesne and Alfred Recoura in Paris in 1912. During World War I he was in the French Army. After the war, having transferred to the studio of Gaston Redon, he won the Premier Grand Prix de Rome (1920) for a very eclectic monument to Victory. Regarding his compulsory tenure at the Villa Medici as a burden, he missed the final year.
