National Archives Preservation Facility / May + Russell Architects
The National Archives Preservation Facility (NAPF) is a facility for over 15 million paper and audio visual records storage, management and preservation with the underpinning design philosophy of ?Your story, our history?. The architectural dialogue of the design is to express its function as the symbolic keeper of the nation?s collective memory, and represent the primary functions of ?archives? and a ?space for archivists?. The predominant concept is to express the passage of time ? both the past and the future.
