Christian de Portzamparc was born in 1944 in the city of Casablanca in Morocco. In the 1960s he studied painting and architecture at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris, finishing the course in 1970. Deepened in the study of doctrines and structures of architectural theory, he got to work with a group of psycho sociologists researching social aspirations and quality of life in urban spaces to large-scale time. Surely these studies had a great influence on his urban planning and proposals in terms of user needs.
