Curriculum Vitae

Anna Wilk-Pham is a member of Habitat Unit Team since 2015. She is working at the interface of integrated planning and architecture. Her research interests combine the areas of extended urbanisation, community-based planning and co-production, water-sensitive urban design, nature-based solutions, polycentric urban water management and engaged teaching and community involvement in architectural education. Anna studied architecture and urban planning at the Technical University in Berlin, Leibniz Universität in Hannover and Technical University of Poznan. 

Anna is part of the PolyUrbanWaters research team (BMBF, 2019–2027), which explores polycentric approaches to the management of urban water resources in South-East Asia. The project localizes sustainability goals outlined in Agenda 2030 and the New Urban Agenda at the city and municipal levels. Anna’s work focuses on developing integrated and participatory urban development strategies by collaborating closely with local stakeholders, including communities, public and private actors, and municipalities. From a planning and urban research perspective, the scientific monitoring of real-world laboratories aims to translate practical experiences into strategic approaches, tools, and instruments. These outcomes are designed to be transferable and scalable to other districts or municipalities.

Since 2016 Anna is also conducting research on Design-Build projects as a teaching method in architecture. She is investigating the field of public interest design and the community engagement in the design and construction process.
