Muoto

The Muoto studio is an architecture agency based in Paris since 2003, founded by Gilles Delalex and Yves Moreau. Its activities cover the fields of project management, management of research and teaching. Muoto projects are often characterised by minimal structures that allow a multitude of different forms to be combined of activities and to respond to economic and aesthetic issues. The agency pleads for an architecture primitive, both frugal and generous, which can evolve over time.

He is a professor at the Paris-Malaquais School of Architecture where he is head of the department Theory, History, Project. He taught at the Ecole des Ponts et Chaussées from 2004 to 2008.
