He also designed the Alma metro station. Lucien Kroll was inspired, among other things, by the work of Hundertwasser. He was particularly successful with the pioneering work he did for sustainable ‘ecological’ buildings. He became a popular architect in France.

He was a pioneer of participatory and ecological architecture, concepts that later became commonplace in the construction world.
