VPS is a Zurich-based office for architecture. The practice operates at the intersection of design, structure, economy, climate, and energy, developing architecture through close interdisciplinary collaboration and precise spatial thinking. VPS seeks to establish architecture as an integrative process in which typology, construction, environmental performance, and economic logic are considered simultaneously rather than sequentially.

Archives have traditionally hidden themselves from public view, storing documents, films, artworks, and records in protected, inaccessible spaces. Today, digital technologies are transforming this model. Storage and distribution have become continuous, interconnected processes, making archives more open, dynamic and accessible.

As Michel Foucault described, the archive is not simply a repository but a system that shapes knowledge, memory, and cultural history. Archiving is therefore an active, performative process that determines what is preserved and remembered. Rather than remaining closed institutions, archives should reveal their contents and inner workings. Their future lies in adaptation rather than preservation alone. By integrating archival spaces with public life—as places for education, research, cinema, and cultural exchange—the archive becomes a living institution that continually reshapes how art and media are experienced, shared, and protected.
