Eugène-Édouard Monod

Eugène-Édouard Monod was a Swiss architect who worked together with Alphonse Laverrière until 1915. Together they won the 1912 Olympic architecture gold medal with their work Building Plan of a Modern Stadium. Since 1895, Monod was educated and graduated from the École des-Beaux-Arts in Paris. He worked as an architect in Morges, Lausanne and Beaulieu and near Rolle and was associated with Laverrière from 1901-15, with whom he designed the famous Chauderon Bridge in Lausanne, the Lausanne Railway Station, the Federal Bank and the Reformation Wall Monument in Geneva. The postwar crisis after World War I did not allow him to carry out this business anymore. Monod was then commissioner-general of the Olympic Congresses in Lausanne in 1913 and 1921. He was a member of the Vaud Society of Engineers and Architects and the Swiss Society of Engineers and Architects both since 1911.
