Amancio Williams 2.0.
Amancio Williams 2.0.
Many institutions focused on the preservation of architectural archives concentrate their efforts on the communication of the documents in their collections. Unfortunately, not all of them have a platform where the material is readily available.
The architect Amancio Williams and his legacy are part of Argentina’s cultural heritage. The content of the archive is important to anyone interested in architecture and in the history of South American Modernist thinkers.
By developing a new website, Monoambiente Gallery together with Williams Archive attempts to create a living archive that will constitute a novel way of organizing and approaching documentation, a system on which documents can circulate in a dynamic fashion, and inspire new projects.
The project is particularly concerned with making a contribution to the community of institutions and individuals working in the fields of architecture, design, history, and culture on both the local and the international levels.
