Bordeaux le Pecq House in Bois le Roy (1963-1966). © Dominique Delaunay.Claude Parent, one of France’s most revered modernist architects and an elected member of the Académie des Beaux-Arts. In the mid-1960s Parent devised a theory, along with critic Paul Virilio, called the fonction oblique, for which he is most famous. This declared that buildings should be all about ramps, slopes and angles, wall-free where possible; that space should predominate over surface.
