William Morris Archive
William Morris was a modern polymath who has been superficially reduced in the collective imagination. The William Morris Archive is an extension to the existing William Morris Gallery (Morris’s childhood house) that covers all the areas to which he dedicated part of his work. The aim is to remember the productive diversity of the wallpaper designer.

Design Process
Design Process
The archive is designed as a set of consecutive rooms created by applying rational transformations to a previously imagined William Morris Memory Palace, which used the existing William Morris house as a reference.
Plan and Long Section
In the plan, it is visible how some projections are materialised as they intersect with the memory palace. While in the section, it is evident how where they intersect the surfaces of the existing house are replicated.
Interior Views
The different spaces use the different, rationally selected projections in them in the best way to display the type of work they store: drawings, ceramics, textiles, wallpapers, and writings.
Exterior View
On the outside of the building, the projections are materialised as solid volumes to self-explain the concept ruling the design of the whole building.
