Fondation CIVA
Since 1988 and 1991 respectively, the René Pechère Library and the Paul Duvigneaud Centre have been welcoming in Brussels lovers of garden art, landscape architecture and urban ecosystems. Their resources have now been transferred to the CIVA Foundation’s Gardens, Landscapes and Urban Ecosystems Department.
The result is a specialised documentation centre that provides visitors with a unique resource of almost 15,000 references in many languages covering more than four centuries of production. Its library has numerous international publications (books and journals) while the extensive archive section (including the René Pechère and Jules Buyssens collections and the IFLA archives) is notable for the variety of supports available to researchers: written archives, original plans, photographs, models, audio and audiovisual documents.
