Iglesia San José: Vista desde el andamio:

VIEW FROM THE SCAFFOLD

San José was built between 1532 & 1735 as a conventual church for Dominican friars. It’s age, the ravages of time and the lack of timely preventative conservation work have had a harmful toll on it. Conservation will not be easy.

We were commissioned the design of a catalog and exhibit to explain the renovation process to the community, along with many of the archaeological, architectural and cultural discoveries that have been made. We devised a series of self-standing modules to hold the content of the exhibit. These were distributed through the space to allow visitors to enjoy a complete walk-around, while simultaneously providing exposure to all of the contents.
