About Marc Dessauvage
- Marc Dessauvage (1931–1984) was a Belgian ecclesiastical architect, active primarily in the 1960s and 1970s.
- He broke with traditional church architecture to produce modernist buildings that were thought to give expression to the liturgical reforms of the time.
- In 1959 he won a Pro Arte Christiana design competition, drawing further praise from the Jesuit art theorist Geert Bekaert and the Benedictine liturgist Frédéric Debuyst, which launched him on a 20-year career.
- His growing deafness made communication with clients problematic.
- One of his most prestigious designs was for the Faculty of Arts of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (1971–72).
