General Archive of the Indies

Among vaulted ceilings and documents, time has a presence of its own. Working in the General Archive of the Indies means listening to that architecture: finding the scale, material and finish that allow a story to unfold without disturbing the quiet of the place.

Graphic panels, display supports and purpose-made exhibition furniture were produced and installed to sit alongside the documentary heritage and the building. Colour fidelity and carefully resolved details hold the route together, allowing production to accompany memory rather than impose itself upon it.
