The Architectural Forum offers an opportunity to discuss and debate themes related to architecture and urban planning. Set out as a hall of art rather than a museum, it focuses on the here-and-now rather than on architectural history.

The Central Library Zürich is Zürich’s cantonal, municipal and university library. With over five million media and half a million visitors a year, it is one of Switzerland’s largest libraries. It collects scientific literature as well as travel guides, novels and guidebooks. In addition, it documents and archives Zürich-based publications. As the city’s oldest cultural institution, it also possesses numerous historic inventories going back to the Middle Ages, including bequests and private libraries.
