André Leconte

Andre Leconte (1894–1990) was a French architect.

Designs

The Lebanese government contracted with him to design Beirut International Airport at Khalde (1948-1954).

He also designed the Lazarieh office building (1953) in central Beirut, and Rizk hospital built in 1957 in Achrafieh.

Leconte also participated in the conception of Nouakchott, capital of then-french Mauritania, with the assistance of Robert Joly[1].

Honours

Leconte received the "Prix de Rome" award.[2].

gollark: Yes.
gollark: For example, `do_something(4, 44)` would print `48`, as inside the function arg1 has the value `4` and arg2 has the value `44`.
gollark: You can now call `do_something` with some arguments and it'll print their sum.
gollark: ```lualocal function do_something(arg1, arg2) print(arg1 + arg2)end```
