François Chaslin (French: [fʁɑ̃swa ʃɑlɛ̃]; 10 August 1948 – 7 August 2025) was a French architect.[1]
Life and career
Born in Bollène on 10 August 1948, Chaslin was the son of engineer Paul Chaslin. From 1980 to 1987, he led the expositions department at the Institut français d'architecture.[2] From 1987 to 1994, he was editor-in-chief of the magazine L'Architecture d'Aujourd'hui and regularly contributed to Le Monde, Le Nouvel Observateur, and Libération.[2] From 1999 to 2012, he directed and produced the weekly radio show Métropolitains on France Culture,[3] which was also called Les Jeudis de l’architecture.[4] He also taught at the École nationale supérieure d'architecture et de paysage de Lille and the École nationale supérieure d'architecture de Paris-Malaquais and was a corresponding member of the Institut de France and the Académie des Beaux-Arts.[5] As an architecture critic, his study of Le Corbusier produced media criticism over the architect's association with the far right.[6][7]
Chaslin died in Lanildut on 7 August 2025, at the age of 76.[8]
