We designed the catalogue for Paris 1793–1794. Une année révolutionnaire, published by Paris Musées to accompany the exhibition at the Musée Carnavalet – Histoire de Paris. Bringing together more than 250 works and artefacts, the exhibition explored the dramatic twelve months that transformed France during the Year II of the Revolution.

Our challenge was to create a publication that could embrace the richness of eighteenth-century iconography while maintaining a distinctly contemporary editorial language. Through a precise balance of rhythm, typography and image sequencing, the design offers a renewed reading of historical documents, allowing archives, paintings and objects to resonate with essays, unpublished texts and graphic narratives.

Featuring an original text by Éric Vuillard and drawings by Florent Grouazel and Younn Locard, the book reflects the ambition of the exhibition itself: to revisit a pivotal moment in history through today’s perspective.

Website for Eugène, a practice dedicated to the conservation of historic monuments and the enhancement of architectural heritage. Working across an exceptional time span—from Antiquity to contemporary architecture—the agency required a digital experience capable of reflecting the richness and complexity of its work.

Rather than organising projects by type or chronology, together with Oliver Talbot, we imagined the homepage as a large historical timeline where major events intertwine with the agency’s projects. A singular way of navigating history through architecture, revealing each intervention as part of a much broader cultural continuum.

Behind its apparent simplicity lies a carefully crafted platform: project pages accommodate multiple interventions, phases and scales within a single commission; interactive maps highlight the geographical breadth of the practice across France; a fully responsive interface, dark mode and a private back office allow the team to generate bespoke portfolios in just a few clicks.

A website conceived as a precise, flexible and long-lasting tool together with Olivier Talbot and f451 (code).

We developed the visual identity for an architecture and urban strategy practice whose work is grounded in a careful reading of context, construction and the economy of the project. Rather than seeking formal gestures, Graal designs places that are resourceful, adaptable and rooted in everyday life.

The identity translates this position into a restrained and rigorous graphic language. Built around a robust typographic system and a flexible set of layouts, it provides a coherent framework capable of accommodating the agency’s diverse activities—from architecture and urban strategies to research and publishing.

Clear, durable and precise, the design reflects an approach where clarity becomes a tool for thinking as much as for communicating.

Three books, one collection.✨Designed for T&P Publishing, the Anthologies series brings together carefully curated texts selected by researchers, editors and practitioners around a shared theme, historical moment or design discourse. Each volume revisits seminal writings whose ideas continue to shape contemporary design practice and debate.

Beyond their role as reference books, the collection creates bridges across disciplines, languages and generations. By bringing key texts into French or English for the first time, it opens new conversations while making essential design histories accessible to wider audiences.

Our design approach establishes a coherent visual identity across the series while giving each volume its own character. Conceived for long-term reading and consultation, the books combine clarity, precision and a restrained graphic language that lets the texts take centre stage.

Anthologies. Book series for T&P Publishing. Bilingual editions (French / English). Editorial design by Building Paris. Typefaces Styrene B (Commercial Type) and Immortel (Clément Le Tulle-Neyret). With drawings by Karl Nawrot

Identité visuelle, supports de communication et catalogue de l’exposition du «Stock, architectures de survie et de transmission», sous la direction de architecte.

L’exposition Stock envisage le stock comme un élément déterminant dans notre capacité à affronter les crises d’approvisionnement et à organiser la transmission. Plaidoyer pour ré-architecturer le stock, elle encourage la mise en réserve des matériaux déjà extraits et pour transformer, plutôt que d’en produire chaque jour à nouveau.

L’exposition Stock propose un état des lieux des entrepôts contemporains à travers des cartes, des chiffres-clés et des installations vidéo. Autour d’une sélection de 18 types d’architectures - représentés en maquettes -, l’exposition met en exergue les formes architecturales qui ont servi par le passé à abriter, transmettre et ritualiser le stock. Une sélection de documents variés (plans, photos, archives…) et d’entretiens d’experts filmés permet d’explorer des démarches et des projets architecturaux contemporains replaçant le stock au cœur des villes et des débats.

Exposition visible à la Poste Rodier, du 16 avril au 28 juin 2026
Adresse : 30-32, rue Louise-Émilie de la Tour d’Auvergne, Paris 9
Jours et horaires d’ouverture : du 16 avril au 28 juin 2026 - du mercredi au vendredi de 12h à 18h & du samedi au dimanche de 12h à 19h
