In an article highlighting 1920s architecture in Paris, The Royal Institute of British Architects Journal (RIBA) discussed the forgotten architect Jean Welz. The publication credits Welz’s design of the recently demolished Maison Zilveli, and shares a photograph of him standing on one of his peer’s exquisite designs, stating, “This image perfectly encapsulates the role of 1920s Paris as an international hub for modern architects.” Read the article here.
