Tony
In the afternoon of Wednesday March 4th, our Aurovilian brother and friend Tony suffered a stroke and passed away at his home in Felicity. He was 73 years old.
Tony, an Israeli architect formally known as Anthony Lawrence Barter, designed distinguished buildings in Israel, Japan and India before joining Auroville 12 years ago. A native of England, he traveled widely and was profoundly influenced by each of the cultures where he lived.
In Auroville, Tony initially started out with the then ‘Aurofuture’ team. His interest, and deep concern, had been largely with the town planning of the city. He was also actively involved in participatory meetings on planning, in the renovation of Pondy’s Park Hotel, worked with an architect team on the master plan for Santé, the new Institute for Integral Health on the Crown Road, and co-designed Maitreyi II.
Tony’s remains were cremated at Auroville’s Farewell funeral grounds in Adventure on Sunday 8th March, with family and friends attending.
Our warmest love and care go out to Ilona, Tony’s wife, and to the children, Leni and Aliya, and Noam and Yonatan, as well as to their close friends David and Achva Stein.
