Anil Laul, Director, Anangpur Building Centre, Faridabad

The Anangpur Building Centre is an entrepreneur centre, initiated in 1991 by Prof. Anil Laul, an architect by profession, who has been involved with pioneering work in the field of Appropriate Technologies for three decades. The Centre has been the forerunner of the Building Centre movement in India. The issues it addresses are right from the brick, as a basic element in building and its appropriateness to high-end technology structures such as Space Frames and Geodesics. Amongst others, Prof. Anil Laul has authored a document titled ‘Sustainable City Strategies for Developing Countries’, which is a significant contribution in the field of sustainable human settlement designs. This is a consequence of lessons learnt from Jaunapur Slum Resettlement Scheme. It is also a part of Local Agenda for the Asian region, published by CSIR, Johannesburg.
