3 h. ago Celebrated, imprisoned, reviled, rebuilt: Fernand Pouillon, the lost architect of France

From designing enormous postwar housing projects to escaping from prison using a rope, Pouillon’s life had high drama. A new documentary charts the extraordinary rise, fall – and rise again – of France’s ‘most wanted’ creativeVariously described as an “architect, painter, novelist, communist and convicted fraudster”, Fernand Pouillon’s life was punctuated by abrupt reversals of fortune that might have sprung from the pages of Dickens or Dumas. Throughout an eventful career, he ricocheted from intoxicating success, to financial scandal, prison, exile and eventual rehabilitation.In 1985, when Pouillon was in his early 70s, he was awarded the Légion d’Honneur by President François Mitterrand.
