More than 6,000 drawings, 500 photographs, 300 exhibition panels and 12 oral histories have been archived by CEPT University within a span of one year. It has now started digitizing its next most significant collection of documented studies, over 1,000 drawings from the Faculty of Design. Not only this, the archive section of CEPT has been shifted to a new premise in the AES complex.

The CEPT archives, which completed a year on December 1, were created with the motive to collect, record and disseminate information on subjects related to architecture, planning and design. The initial work started with the centre archiving the existing documents and related studies within the university along with the design evolution of Cept campus architecture and the historically significant works in Ahmedabad between 1947 and 1957.

Ishita Shah, coordinator, CEPT archives said, “The collections span across the diverse fields of architecture, planning, design construction & urban management.
