About CCA
The Canadian Centre for Architecture was conceived to fulfill several functions: to collect, as a museum and research library; to archive and document; to support research, as a study centre; and to create and disseminate knowledge through exhibitions, publications, and public programs. It was part of a new generation of specialized institutions—like the Deutsches Architekturmuseum in Frankfurt (1979), the Netherlands Architecture Institute in Rotterdam (1988), and the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles (1984)—that testified to a renewed interest in the discipline of architecture.
