Archäologiemuseum in Sevilla

Supporting an architect with the intensity and demanding nature of Guillermo Vázquez Consuegra for the renovation of the Seville Archaeology Museum has been a significant challenge—one as demanding as it was rewarding. This wasn’t just about refurbishing a building; it was about reordering one of the city’s most cherished architectural landmarks through an incredibly rigorous lens.

The original 1929 building had become obsolete and labyrinthine. The museum required an intervention that would modernize its interior without altering its historic skin—a task that demanded surgical precision to preserve the essence of the original pavilion.

Vázquez Consuegra’s strategy focused on reclaiming the building’s central axis through a grand atrium lit by a zenithal lantern. The architecture bets on transparency and visual connection, stripping away the decades of additions that had suffocated the original space.

Our mission was to communicate this new sense of clarity. Our visual work focused on how the Sevillian light penetrates the building and transforms as it interacts with the sober materials proposed by the architect. Our images sought to convey serenity and order, illustrating how the project “cleanses” the building so that the archaeological collection can once again take center stage.
