A place built by overlapping plots, patios, terraces and walls, a legacy that remains in the plot as part of the material history of the building and the city. In the same way the building is a sequence of constructions and materials that gathers the constructive systems of the territory of Mallorca.  Image Courtesy © José Hevia

Inside, two large rooms are built; on the ground floor a vaulted space that does not touch the bricks canvases and on the first floor a wooden roof that floats over the walls.

These five materials have been worked by five craftsmen, who express their knowledge in the building through their work. The first floor with a sifted light illuminates the documents but without damaging them, on the contrary the vaulted, more shady space protects the books and houses a consulting room surrounded by documents that tell the story of Felanitx. The Municipal Archive is a set of pre-existing, constructive systems and documents that tell the material, constructive and lived history of the territory in which it is located.
