About this person
Davioud is remembered for his numerous contributions to Parisian architecture, notably the now-former Trocadéro Palace, which he co-designed with Jules Bourdais, the two theatres on the Place du Châtelet, the Fontaine Saint-Michel, as well as urban amenities such as pavilions, benches and kiosks. These contributions now form an integral part of the style of Haussmann's Paris. His work demonstrated the integration of architecture, urban planning, and public amenities in the modernization of nineteenth century of Paris.
