(1873-1980)
Antoine Pompe, born in Brussels on 9 December 1873, played a leading role in the development of modern architecture in Belgium in the years 1910-1920. Self-taught, he contributed to drafting plans for the Palace Hotel (1908). He is especially known for his design of the Orthopedic Clinic of Dr. Van Neck at Saint-Gilles (1910), one of the earliest examples of functionalism in Belgium. Pompe died in Uccle on 9 February 1980.
