Abstract
Jacques Gréber, Urbaniste et Architecte David Gordon and Isabelle Gournay Jacques Gréber (1882-1962) was born into an artistic family in Paris, and admitted in architecture at the École des Beaux Arts in 1901.1 He was a fine student, winning several prizes during the arduous training at the École. On his graduation in 1909, he missed the Rome Prize for architecture, which changed the direction of his career. Instead of spending years in Rome studying classical architecture, he left for the United States, where American architects who had trained at the École immediately engaged his talents to design jardins a la française for the large houses they built in New England.
