Vertigo is the conflict between the fear of falling and the desire to fall

The depots of Sound and Vision are, literally, the foundation of the organization. This archive section of the building has a monumental appearance. Five storeys deep depots offer the visitor an overwhelming sight. Partly caused by the orange glow of the walkways, which spreads through the central hall, but also by the architectural design, like a wedge into the two depots walls split apart. They form a canyon with a bridge made by each visitor, and is undergoing. The shape of the canyon is inspired by the southern European necropolises where deaths mostly buried in walls. Audiovisual equipment is just as dead until it is brought to life in machinery. The depots and archives are the layers -2 to -5. Here are four different climatic zones to include a proper preservation of audiovisual materials protection. The temperature in these areas averages 12, 16, 17 and 19 degrees Celsius with a specific humidity.
