Relevance of research and Public
The gta Archives are simultaneously a public research archive and competence centre. They support the university’s inhouse and external research projects, and are involved in research projects themselves. Their holdings are representative of the history of modern architecture in German-speaking Switzerland in international contexts. The NSL Archiv, which collects documents on planning as well as garden and landscape architecture, is affiliated to the gta Archives.
