Maria Fernanda Agudelo Ganem

Maria Fernanda Agudelo Ganem’s design and research work is located at the interface between architecture, urban design, and landscape architecture. Through research and design, systemic and metabolic thinking, her work covers the shared and new territory between natural science and design. She is particularly interested in the relationship between architectural space, our notion of (urban) nature, and the possibilities to design/construct (urban) nature as an interface capable of organizing and articulating spatial configurations within a complex urban context. Maria has a Diploma in Architecture from the Universidad de Los Andes in Bogotá and an MA in urban design from the School of Art Berlin-Weißensee. Currently, she is a research and teaching associate with the Chair of Landscape Architecture and Spatial Planning at the Technical University of Berlin, where she also coordinates the Masters program in Urban Design on behalf of the Landscape Architecture Department.

Recent projects include WASTE ‒ “Urban Metabolism and the Anthropocene, designing flows and interactive infrastructures focusing on food, water, waste, and energy in Munich”; KIGALI_Lab ‒ “Designing interactive and trans-sectoral infrastructures: linking people, nature, and the city” (an interdisciplinary summer school + grounding knowledge through intensive fieldwork), TASTY KIGALI ‒ “Designing interactive food systems: food+housing, food+wetlands, food+markets”; and N:UR/D ‒ “Network for Urban Research and Design (which aims to connect academia and praxis).”
