context_page_description: Louis Bernard Bonnier was a French architect known for his work as an urban planner for the city of Paris.
  He was instrumental in loosening the restrictions on the appearance of buildings in Paris, which resulted in the blossoming of Art Nouveau buildings.
  He designed many significant buildings himself, including private villas, public housing and railway buildings.
  In all his work he was true to the rationalist principles of Art Nouveau.
context_section_description: Bonnier and Henri Sauvage were two of the main figures in the transition from Art nouveau to modern architecture.
  Throughout his career Bonnier was true to the principles of imaginative eclecticism that are one of the foundations of Art Nouveau, rejecting the stricter schools of French classical architecture in favour of more picturesque ornamentation, especially when it emphasizes and explains the structure of the building.Charles Plumet praised Bonnier, who he thought had carefully adapted forms to contexts and needs.
