Jean Prouv??? began to design portable and demountable barracks for the French army during the Second World War. After the war, the French government commissioned Prouv??? to design inexpensive, effective housing for the newly homeless, prompting him to perfect his patented axial portal frame to build easily constructed demountable houses. Few of these groundbreaking structures were built, making them exceedingly rare today--prompting Galerie Patrick Seguin's tireless efforts over the past 27 years to preserve and promote these important designs.
