Imprimerie Mame, Historical printing facility in Tours, France
The Imprimerie Mame complex features two modular buildings connected by a walkway, including an administrative tower and spacious workshop areas.
Founded in 1796 by Armand Mame, the original facility was destroyed in 1940 during German invasion and rebuilt between 1950 and 1953.
The printing house earned the Grand Prix for industrial architecture at the 1954 Milan Triennale for its innovative design by Bernard Zehrfuss.
The structure contains 672 aluminum sheds that provide natural light throughout the workspace, making it suitable for detailed printing operations.
The facility transformed into the Cité de la création et de l'innovation in 2016, marking a shift from industrial to educational purposes.
