Lucien Kroll (13 March 1927 – 2 August 2022) was a Belgian architect known for his projects involving participation by the future inhabitants of the buildings. Kroll was born in Brussels on 13 March 1927. His most famous work is the Medical Faculty Housing at the University of Louvain, Belgium, from 1970 to 1976. These buildings "aroused widespread controversy in the early 1970s (and even today), their fragmented and improvisational appearance— the result of a deliberate participatory design process— in stark contrast to the adjacent massive and repetitive hospital, the embodiment of a centralized bureaucracy." Overall, the public pleads to erase most of the buildings.
