The vast abolishment of state planning or scientific and research institutes in Georgia after the 1990s has destroyed most materials preserved in such establishments. However, a limited number of catalogued projects have survived in the municipal archives, as well as in private collections. In times when Tbilisi’s architectural landscape is being significantly altered or even demolished, the selection, categorization, digitalization, description and placement of existing documents in a digital common space become even more important. Tbilisi Architecture Archive aims to gather existing planning records and building documentation scattered through various archives and compile them in a form of open access.
