This publication presents the architectural project of Adelfo Scaranello for the Musée des beaux-arts et d’archéologie de Besançon, which reopened in 2018. “From the outset, says Scaranello, one thing was clear: the convictions with which the architects Pierre Marnotte (1797- 1882) and Louis Miquel (1913-1986) had worked successively on this construction had gradually disappeared. […] Restoring the integrity of these architectures within a new project is not about historising but is a way of transforming the links between these two figures.” This 1st volume shows the museum empty spaces, during the construction. Typeset in a modified version of GF Montserrat (OFL).

The Métropole Rhin-Rhône area has brought together several cities between France, Switzerland and Germany, connected in 2010 by a high-speed train line. To materialize this network, a major cultural operation was imagined, utopies & innovations. Under the general curation of Laurent Gerverau, these are 12 local themes, and dozens of exhibitions that are scheduled throughout 2010, around these concepts.
It seemed difficult to illustrate these concepts with a single image: also, I preferred to propose an alphabet, which constitutes the visual identity, and ensures the link between the multiple variations. It is used to compose the logotype, which was designed when the Metropolis had only 9 cities; they were symbolized by the 9 points that appeared in the words "utopias & innovations", like 9 points on a map, network, route ... The metropolis then moved to 16 cities, but the logo remained the same.
