Pierre Szekely (11 June 1923) was a Hungarian sculptor, architect and educator. In the 1940s, after surviving the holocaust, Szekely became a resident of France, and eventually became an avant-garde architect and international lecturer of art philosophy.
Early life
Szekely was a student of Hanna Dallos. After being interned in a Nazi concentration camp, he escaped to France in 1946, where by the 1950s he had developed a reputation for sculpture and architecture.[1][2]
In 1975,[3] Szekely completed La Dame du Lac, which is an iconic climbing wall in the suburbs of Paris.[4] The Dame du Lac is considered to have played an instrumental role in the development of Parkour by David Belle,[5] made famous by early montages such as Speed Air Man (1997).
