Paul Landauer

Paul Landauer is an architect with a doctorate in the history of architecture from the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne (2004) and an accreditation to direct research (HDR, Université Gustave Eiffel, 2019). He has been a professor at the École d'architecture de la ville et des territoires Paris-Est - Université Gustave Eiffel since 2020, having previously been a lecturer there from 2007 to 2020. He co-founded the Transformation master's programme, which he now heads. He is a researcher at the OCS/AUSser (CNRS UMR 3329), of which he was director from 2016 to 2023.

After a period of research devoted to the architecture of large housing estates (history and potential) and the development of public spaces (conditions and models), his research is now focusing on the theories of transformation in architecture.

He has published around a hundred articles and contributions to collective works, as well as six books, including L'architecte, la ville et la sécurité (PUF, 2009), L'invention du grand ensemble (Picard, 2010) and Émile Aillaud, Portrait d'architecte (Infolio, éditions du Patrimoine, 2011). He is currently preparing the publication of a book in French and English, L'architecture face aux nouvelles ruines (Building Books / Parks Books), as well as a catalogue exhibition on stock architecture at the Pavillon de l'Arsenal in Paris.
He is also a partner in the Füzesséry-Landauer architecture studio.
