Br\u00e8ve histoire de la construction<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C\u2019est sur d\u2019anciens terrains militaires que ce nouveau minist\u00e8re a \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9difi\u00e9, dans une zone de nouvelle urbanisation, le quartier ayant servi d\u2019arri\u00e8re sc\u00e8ne aux grandes expositions universelles depuis la fin du XIXe si\u00e8cle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D\u00e9but 1929. Louis Loucheur, ministre du travail, de l\u2019hygi\u00e8ne, de l\u2019assistance et de la pr\u00e9voyance sociales, charge Guillaume Tronchet, architecte des b\u00e2timents civils et des Palais nationaux, \u00e9galement architecte en chef du minist\u00e8re du travail depuis 1907, de construire un nouvel \u00e9difice pour le minist\u00e8re<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ce b\u00e2timent est destin\u00e9 \u00e0 abriter les services centraux du minist\u00e8re, ainsi que l\u2019accueil du public rendu n\u00e9cessaire par la mise en \u0153uvre de la loi de 1928 sur les assurances sociales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En 1930, \u00e0 la livraison du chantier, la construction n\u2019est pas enti\u00e8rement termin\u00e9e. En 1937, Guillaume Tronchet, atteint par la limite d\u2019\u00e2ge, est maintenu en fonctions pour achever l\u2019agrandissement des ailes. I pilotera \u00e9galement les travaux de cr\u00e9ation de labri anti-a\u00e9rien du site, en 1939.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ce premier ensemble sera ult\u00e9rieurement compl\u00e9t\u00e9 pour occuper la totalit\u00e9 de I \u2018\u00eelot urbain : les 2 ailes lat\u00e9rales seront construites en 1950 et 1960, l\u2019aile Duquesne sera construite en 1971.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D\u00e9but des assurances sociales et accueil des assur\u00e9s : de la place Fontenoy \u00e0 la rue de Dunkerque<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Les premiers agents du minist\u00e8re du travail install\u00e9s place Fontenoy en 1930 sont rejoints au 1er juillet 1930, par le personnel de la Caisse interd\u00e9partementale d\u2019assurances sociales (CIAS), charg\u00e9e de la mise en \u0153uvre de la loi de 1928 sur les assurances sociales en r\u00e9gion parisienne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A partir du 1er octobre 1930 et jusqu\u2019en 1933 (date du d\u00e9m\u00e9nagement de la CIAS pour la rue de Dunkerque), les assur\u00e9s sont re\u00e7us aux guichets plac\u00e9s dans la grande salle sous verri\u00e8re, pour recevoir les premi\u00e8res prestations d\u2019assurance maladie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Un b\u00e2timent monumental en forme de V<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Le b\u00e2timent construit par Guillaume Tronchet en 1929-1930 pour abriter le minist\u00e8re du travail et les nouveaux services des assurances sociales est de dimension tr\u00e8s importante et constitue d\u2019embl\u00e9e, avec son entr\u00e9e monumentale sur la place Fontenoy, un lieu solennel, \u00e0 l\u2019image de l\u2019institution officielle qu\u2019il abrite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La g\u00e9om\u00e9trie de l\u2019immeuble s\u2019inscrit dans le triangle constitu\u00e9 par les rues d\u2019Estr\u00e9es et de Lowendal qui convergent vers la place Fontenoy et enserrent le b\u00e2timent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guillaume Tronchet imagine un b\u00e2timent tirant parti du contexte urbain. Au centre de ce b\u00e2timent en forme de \u00ab V \u00bb, il con\u00e7oit un axe majeur sur lequel sont implant\u00e9s la grande verri\u00e8re et, dans son prolongement, un vaste hall \u00e0 l\u2019articulation des deux ailes. La grande verri\u00e8re est aujourd\u2019hui l\u2019espace de travail du centre de ressources documentaires multim\u00e9dia (CRDM) du minist\u00e8re.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A l\u2019ext\u00e9rieur, la sage monumentalit\u00e9 des fa\u00e7ades en pierre ne laisse rien transparaitre de l\u2019architecture de briques utilis\u00e9e pour les fa\u00e7ades sur cour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La d\u00e9coration Art D\u00e9co du b\u00e2timent<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La d\u00e9coration de ce premier \u00ab palais de la R\u00e9publique \u00bb, centr\u00e9e sur le th\u00e8me du travail, met en valeur la modernisation de l\u2019\u00e9conomie fran\u00e7aise, et \u00e9galement l\u2019innovation que constitue la mise en place des assurances sociales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le d\u00e9cor monumental, typiquement Art D\u00e9co, est pr\u00e9sent aussi bien dans les espaces destin\u00e9s au public, comme le hall Fontenoy et la salle dite des \u00abguichets\u00bb, que dans les espaces secondaires comme les couloirs lat\u00e9raux ou les cages d\u2019escalier. La richesse de la d\u00e9coration et le souci de privil\u00e9gier l\u2019\u00e9clairage naturel soulignent l\u2019importance qu\u2019attachait Guillaume Tronchet \u00e0 l\u2019accueil du public dans ses r\u00e9alisations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
