Roger Anger

Research on Beauty / Recherche sur la beauté: Architecture 1958–2008

by Anupama Kundoo

This is the title of the book on the late chief architect of Auroville
published by Jovis verlag, Berlin in French and English.
The book is a result of extensive research by Anupama Kundoo, a former Auroville resident.
Richly illustrated, the book presents Roger's remarkable architectural projects in Paris, in Auroville and elsewhere in the world.
In India, the book was released in August 2010 at the function organised at Pune, jointly by The National Institute of Advanced Studies in Architecture (NIASA), the academic body of the Indian Council of Architects, and Forum for Exchange and Excellence in Design (FEED). The event was graced by renowned architect and Governing Board member B.V.Doshi.

Subsequently, Anupama also made a presentation on the book at Auroville, Paris, and Vienna. Distinguished Parisian architect Claude Parent, a contemporary of Roger Anger who wrote the foreword of the book, presided over the function in Paris.
