| Occupation | Architect |
André Minangoy (1904-1985) was a French architect.[2][3] He was particularly active in the Alpes-Maritimes region, taking advantage of the "Trente Glorieuses" boom that hit the Côte d'Azur. His most famous work is Marina Baie des Anges, in Villeneuve-Loubet.
Life
After the Liberation of France, Minangoy lived in Cannes and Vence.[4]
Professional work
He carried out his professional work in architecture on the French Riviera and realized the domain of Pierre-Longue in Cannes.[4] Minangoy was an experienced architect and town planner in the 1960s, heading up a major architectural practice in Vence and then Cannes, where he was assisted by Michel Néron, an architect who had graduated from the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts.[3] André Minangoy was also close to Pierre Canto, the founder of one of the Côte d'Azur's first marinas in Cannes, which already bore his name during his lifetime.
Marina Baie des Anges
Marina Baie des Anges (English: Marina Bay of Angels) is a group of four pyramid-shaped buildings encircling the port containg 1300 apartments.[2] In addition to the harbour master's office and staff accommodation, the facilities around the port include a row of shops, a swimming pool and a thalassotherapy centre.[4] In 1959, the Alpes-Maritimes département was running a vast urbanisation policy.[3] It is not clear, who had the idea of pyramid-shaped buildings encircling the port, either André Minangoy or perhaps Jean Marchand. According to Le Monde, the initial drawing was done by André Minangoy.[2] It was build between 1969 and 1993.[4]
