Quai Anatole France
Richard Hermann Antoine Bouwens van der Boijen (11 October 1863 – 31 August 1939) was a French architect. In 1901, he was one of the winners of the Concours de façades de la ville de Paris for the realization of an Hôtel particulier, 8, rue de Lota in the 16th arrondissement of Paris.[1] In the 1930s, he was an exponent of the Art Deco style; with French architect Roger-Henri Expert, Bouwens was given overall responsibility for the interior design of the SS Normandie.[2]
He is buried at Père-Lachaise Cemetery (36th division).
