To most accurately critique the archive of the indies, based in Seville, for providing a contextless form of information in a serious and rigid air, the process of archiving was studied.
A fundamental method of provenance is key to providing what little context is available. This is the process of one leaving their mark on the collection presented, whether through the arrangement of the presentation or editing what is shown in the archive.
Multiple studies throughout the processes of context analysis lent themselves to representing ideas found in Calvino’s essays on exactitude, particularly around the structural beauty of the crystal, and the chaotic beauty of the flame, with the city lying between the two.
These points make up the key concept of the design, criticising the contextless archive through a fun and more humourful manor, and allowing a sense of provenance and temporality for the everyday person.
