Built in 1979 by Grand Prix de Rome architect André Chatelin, the Regional Telecommunications Department building immediately made its mark on the Part-Dieu landscape, with its 3D facades repeating prefabricated concrete modules.
40 years later, AFAA Architecture’s rehabilitation of this emblematic building led to the addition of two glass extensions to the north and south of the plot.
Bureau 205 was tasked with designing a signage system tailored to the building’s new functions and circulation patterns. For this, they employed a custom version of the Muoto typeface, designed by Matthieu Cortat and distributed by 205TF. This bespoke iteration of Muoto features rectangular counterforms.
