Wall House 1:1 in 2012 and Building Knowledge, An Inventory of Strategies in 2016 and now exhibited as a solo show ‘Taking Time’ at Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Denmark till 31 January 2021.

Anupama Kundoo’s practice started in 1990 in Auroville where she worked closely with Roger Anger on Auroville’s planning, particularly the urban design of Auroville’s City Center, Administration Zone and Habitat Area till his last days. She taught Urban Management at TU Berlin and strengthened her expertise in rapid urbanization and climate change related development issues, about which she has written extensively. She is the author of the bilingual book Roger Anger: Research on Beauty/Recherche sur la Beauté, Architecture1958 –2008, published in Berlin by Jovis Verlag in 2009. Anupama Kundoo is currently Professor at Potsdam School of Architecture, Germany.

“Anupama Kundoo has in her work a strong sense of haptic qualities, warmth and richness. Her kind of material research is something I would like to see more of in architecture”, says Jenni Reuter, curator of the lecture series.
