Burgos Local Archive
Sited in the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Burgos Cathedral the proposal for the Local Archive creates a serene dialogue between the historical buildings and a new element. As an addition to the Palace of Castilfalé, the Archive extension will host an important collection of documents of the city.
The project aims to be an impenetrable cage where the testimonies of the history of the city remain safe. Divided in three floors according to the levels of the existing palace, the Archive occupies a privilege position towards the Cathedral and the urban structure.
This condition of tightness and the difference in height with the upper street, creates a urban square on the top of the cage, where public activities take place between the shadows of the Cathedral.
