RIBBON

The ArQuives

Architecture & Interior Design

The ArQuives is a resource for those who strive for a future world where lesbian, gay, bisexual, and trans people are accepted, valued, and celebrated. This organization creates easy access to LGBTQ2+ archives and artifacts. Taking the idea of a ribbon that twists and turns, the design connects all of the spaces in The ArQuives by a red structure that transforms into many different things. It is an exhibit, illumination, a cache, and seclusion. The ribbon-like structure is transformed into a storage unit with push-in and pull cabinets, that hold books, artifacts, and other items that the public can easily access.
