'''Pierre-François-Henri Labrouste''' ({{IPA|fr|pjɛʁ fʁɑ̃swa ɑ̃ʁi labrust|lang}}) (11 May 1801&nbsp;&ndash; 24 June 1875) was a French architect from the famous {{Lang|fr|[[École des Beaux-Arts]]|italic=no}} school of architecture. After a six-year stay in Rome, Labrouste established an architectural training workshop, which soon became known for rationalism. He became noted for his use of iron-frame construction and was one of the first to realize the importance of its use.
