In this project inside a building on Av. Reforma, we were commissioned to create exhibition spaces for the entire cultural archive that the museum has managed and stored for almost more than a hundred years.
We designed and adapted this library that consists of three sections of closed spaces for the protection of all the books. Because the passage of time has left some volumes in poor condition and because some books exceed 7 kg, we opted for bookcases made from a metal profile lined with natural veneer.
The image of this space is a contrast between modernity and traditional elements, such as carpentry work. The combination of both makes it possible to fulfill the main objective of displaying and protecting the books that are so valuable to this place.
