The "Rechter Architects" firm was established in Tel Aviv in 1932 by architect Ze'ev Rechter, one of the fathers of the international style in Israel. Zeev Rechter received his education at engineering schools in Rome and Paris in the 1920s. Upon immigrating to Israel, he established the firm, where generations of architects who later became central figures in Israeli architecture were trained, including Yaakov Rechter, Moshe Zarhy, David Resnick, and Zvi Hecker. The Rechter Architects Archive was collected over three generations of Rechter family architects: Zeev, Yaakov, and Amnon. The archive contains a variety of materials documenting the projects planned by the Rechter architects for beginning in 1924 when Zeev Rechter began working independently, through Rechter Architects' work in its various incarnations; and culminating with the firms' activity in the 2000s.
