About André Vera
- André Vera (1881–1971) was a French garden designer, town planner and pioneer of the Art Deco style.
- He is known for his collaboration with his brother, the painter and decorator Paul Vera.
- He wanted to renew French design, which he felt had been in decline since the 1840s, and to introduce a modern French style that maintained continuity with earlier French tradition.
- He was an advocate of the formal French garden, with strictly geometrical designs based on lines and squares in place of the curvilinear forms of Art Nouveau.
- In urban design he stressed the importance of including trees as architectural elements, which he thought would enhance the mental and physical health of the residents.
