CIMA Fund
EVCAU inherited a collection of documents from the CIMA laboratory (Center for Computer Science and Methodology in Architecture), which, from 1971 to 1991, focused its research on the development and promotion of computer science in architecture. The collection inherited by EVCAU was the subject of a cataloging, indexing, and research report conducted by Camille Larent-Dewaele from June to September 2018, thanks to funding from BRAUP. The collection is now available for consultation at EVCAU's premises, and its catalog can be viewed online on this website.
