• Tony Garnier was a noted Architect and City planner.

He was most
active in his hometown of Lyon.
He was considered the forerunner of 20th century French
architects.
• He learnt painting and drafting at the Ecole Technique de la
Martiniere in Lyon (1883-86).
• Studied Architecture at the Ecole nationale des Beaux-Arts de
lyon(1886-89) and the Ecole nationale superieure
des Beaux-Arts in Paris (1890-99).
• Pioneering use of reinforced concrete
• Awards – Prix De Rome in 1899
• After learning painting and drafting at the École
Technique de la Martinière in Lyon (1883-86), Garnier
studied architecture at the École nationale des
beaux-arts de Lyon (1886-89) and the École nationale
supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris (1890-99).
• In 1899 he won the Prix de Rome for a design of a
national bank.
• The prize enabled him to reside at the Villa Medici in
Rome for four years, until 1904.
• During his stay in Rome he began working on the
project of an industrial city that became his main
contribution to town planning. In 1901, after
extensive study of sociological and architectural
problems, he began to formulate an elaborate
solution to the perceived issues concerning urban
design.
• His basic idea included the separation of spaces by Villa Medici
function through zoning into several categories:
industrial, civic, residential, health related, and
entertainment. Garnier's drawings for an ideal
industrial city called Une cité industrielle were
initially exhibited in 1904, but only published later in
1918.

biggest venue with a capacity of 17,000 people.
• It measures 86m*210m
• He conceived the building as a concrete structure

of glass in ceilings and walls.

 EDOUARD- HERRIOT HOSPITAL
• The hospital was built on the initiative of Edouard
Herriot by the architect Tony Garnier.
• Tony Garnier is responsible for designing the hospital plans. The
latter extracts from his "industrial city" project a suburban
hospital, which follows the ideas of the commission responsible
for defining what it will be.
• The project is completed in February 1911 and offers isolated
pavilions, bathed in vegetation, in frontal opposition to the self-
contained hospitals. He thus imagines a "garden city for the
sick“.
• Construction began in 1913.
• Inaugurated on July 14,1933, it is made up of 32 pavilions (22 of
which are treatment rooms), connected by a system of
underground galleries. It has a total of 1,544 beds and 23
departments of medicine, surgery and specialties.
Hospital services
• The architect directs the U-shaped pavilions
with the openings to the south, to let in light.
• The pavilions have two levels and are divided
into large medical pavilions with a capacity of
220 beds and those of surgery, smaller with 140
beds.
• The surgical wards have a “septic” ground floor
well isolated from the “aseptic” floor where
operations are held.
• At the start, the pavilions had very few rooms,
most often with two beds, and above all large
common rooms. With the humanization of the
hospital from the 1950s, the search for comfort
for the sick, the desire to build more rooms
collided with the very structure of the
buildings, created with very thick walls very
difficult to rearrange
General organization
• When it opened, the hospital was divided into three
zones.
• One to the north containing the general services, the
large central mass containing the care pavilions and to
the south, on an elevation, a center initially intended
for contagious.
• Basements are, at the beginning, rather little used, but
the personnel quickly discover many jobs to them:
consultations, laboratories, classroom
STADE DE-GERLAND
• The Stade de Gerland, designed in 1913 and
completed in 1926, is an architectural
statement representative of a social and
humanist approach to the city, born from the
architect Tony Garnier and the city’s Senator-
Mayor Edouard Herriot.
• It was part of a large overall project of sports
complex but was however the only realization.
Tony Garnier Stadium namely consisted of the
outer concrete envelope with all its works
such as braces, quick-setting cement roofs,
arches.
• City industrielle, urban plan designed by Tony Garnier and published in 1917 under the title of
Une Cite Industrielle.
• The city Industrielle was to be situated on a plateau in southeastern France , with hills and a lake to the north
and a river and a valley to south.
• Plan takes into consideration all the aspects necessary to running a Socialist city.
• It provides separate zones for separate functions
• These zones- residential, industrial, public, and agricultural- are linked by location and circulation patterns, both
vehicular and pedestrian.
• The public zone is composed of governmental buildings, museums, and exhibition halls and large structures for
sports and theatre
• Residential areas were best located to take best advantage of the sun and wind.
• Industrial district is accessible to the natural power sources and transportation.
• The ‘old town’ is near the railroad station to accommodate tourists.
• A health centre and park are located to the heights north of the city
• The cemetery was located to the southwest
• The surrounding area was devoted to
agriculture.
 The residential area is made up of
rectangular blocks running east-
west
which gives the city its
characteristic elongated form. This
is the location of the houses and
these are situated into large green
areas to benefit from sun and fresh
air. The residential buildings are
first attempt towards passive solar
architecture

Garnier’s proposal was an industrial city for approx. 35,000 inhabitants

situated on an area in southeast France on a plateau. Garnier had energy
efficiently in mind as the city was to be powered by a hydroelectric station with
a dam which was located in the mountains along with the hospital.
Another significant region was the
hospital area. Medical practice of that
time was almost totally without tools and
treatment not in common use, but it had
become apparent that the sunshine and
pure air were helpful in overcoming many
diseases.
Big hospitals were broken down into units
called as pavilions, thus giving patients
close relationship to these amenities and
making them feel more relaxed than if
they were in a huge crowded
environment.
Tony garnier was one of the pioneers of the modern architecture
in terms of material.
• The materials used are concrete for foundations and walls
• Reinforced concrete for floors and ceilings
• All the important buildings were constructed of reinforced
concrete.

Tony garnier’s industrial city is one
of the most comprehensive idea
plans of all time. Garnier’s
industrial city was never built, but
he contributed to the further
planners such as Le Corbusier.
Corbuiser was the well-known
architect to discuss about garnier’s
works. After the industrial city
project, Garnier designed many
projects that built in Lyon.
In the 1920s Garnier continued the work
on several major projects started before
the war. In 1939 he moved from Lyon to
Roquefort-la-Bédoule, where he died in
1948. He is buried in the Croix-Rousse
cemetery.
