The work of Stéphane Du Chateau is clearly inscribed in the second half of the twentieth-century. Throughout his life, the famous engineer and architect developed and patented several spatial structure systems based on an ingenious design of nodes and skillfully applied them in the architectural form of various buildings. As of today, over 250 of his designs were successfully realized. Apart from the above, Stéphane du Chateau also established several associations in order to bring architects together and to promote Spatial Structures. His charisma and commitment brought a remarkable contribution to spatial structures.
