Celebrating Architectural Excellence with Midton

At Midton, we are privileged to be part of a remarkable initiative celebrating the best of contemporary architecture. The “Architecture Contemporaine Remarquable” label, created by the French Ministry of Culture in 2016, rewards over 1779 buildings, architectural ensembles, works of art and developments built less than a hundred years ago, each making a significant contribution to design, innovation, and social or environmental progress.

This prestigious accolade goes beyond simple recognition; it honours architectural creativity and technical mastery across France and its overseas territories. It also highlights the nation’s tradition of embracing innovative architecture, with a focus on sustainability and social relevance.

Midton’s Craftsmanship in Action

When the Ministry of Culture set out to commemorate these architectural achievements, they chose Midton to produce custom acrylic plaques that embody the spirit of the label. The project was as bold as the architecture it celebrated. Over a two-year period, our team of 43 professionals dedicated over 2,500 hours to producing the plaques, using 6,000 kg of casting material to create pieces that were distributed across France and its territories.

These plaques are more than markers—they are crafted symbols of innovation, designed with precision to reflect the excellence of the buildings they honour. This collaboration stands as a testament to our team’s skill and our commitment to delivering high-quality results.

Innovation and Partnership

Working internationally on such high-calibre projects is central to what we do at Midton. Our ability to meet complex production demands while maintaining personalised attention to detail sets us apart. The success of the “Architecture Contemporaine Remarquable” project highlights our capability to manage large-scale, prestigious initiatives without compromising on quality.

Our team’s dedication is evident in every plaque produced, each serving as a lasting tribute to the progressive designs shaping contemporary French architecture.
