Résumé
Emile Bénard, a french architect in America. The case of Emile Bénard is a good illustration of a phenomenon appearing at the turn of the century in the architectural relation between France and America : the migration of the « Beaux-Arts » style from France towards the United States, then Mexico and ultimately Canada. Actually, after devising several projects in America (Berkeley, Mexico City), Bénard comes back to France in 1913 while his colleague Maxime Roisin, a young architect, stays in Mexico City before settling in 1919 in Canada where he continues his master’s influence.
