Architecte médiéval, Robert de Luzarches est né en 1180 et mort en 1222. Il est l'initiateur (premier architecte) de la construction de la cathédrale gothique Notre-Dame d'Amiens. Il travailla notamment à une unité spatiale de l'édifice à partir de 1220.
Choisi pour son art des dessins et des maquettes, il fut engagé sur ce chantier vers 1220. Il réduisit au maximum le nombre de gabarits utiles à la construction de la nef et du transept, ce qui accéléra le chantier. On lui attribue la construction de la nef et des parties basses du chœur.
