Anne Schmidt holds a professional degree in architecture from the Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus and a Master of architecture in urban design from Harvard University. She served as research associate on the “Shrinking Cities” project as well as at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Studio Basel, and was a freelancer for the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation. Until 2014, Anne was teaching and research associate as well as curator at the Architecture Museum of the Technical University of Munich. Her research and freelance interests center on the manifestation of transformation processes in urban space caused by historical, political, and societal factors as well as by migration and climate change. She explores scenarios that strongly emphasize bottom-up strategies and local contexts. Her work is situated at the intersection of analysis and projection and has been part of a number of exhibitions. Currently, she is a research assistant at the interdisciplinary lab “Image, Knowledge, Gestaltung” at the Humboldt University of Berlin. Through the project “The Anthropocene Kitchen,” she examines multilayered implications caused by substance flow—especially human nutrition and energy supply—on the urban form and architecture of contemporary Berlin. Her work aims to contribute to a better understanding of urban cycles, thus deriving scenarios for an efficient way of using limited resources.
