Anna Val was born in a Jewish family in Baku in 1925. Her father was an engineer and her mother was a dentist. Between 1943 and 1948 she studied architecture at Azerbaijan Industrial Institute, graduating with distinction. Upon graduation, she moved to work at BakiDovlatLayiha, where she worked at the workshop of Martin Tovmasyan, moving from a regular architect to project architect and eventually to deputy workshop head. Among the projects that she designed were residential buildings, the reconstruction of Baku airport (subsequently demolished) and of the nearby Binə village, Baku Seaport (1970). She was possibly a co-author of the “Mirvari” (Pearl) Cafe, Seaside Boulevard, Baku (with Irena Orlova-Straganova and Vadim Shulgin, 1959). 

Val married industrial engineer Viktor Fuchs, who worked in Giproazneft (State Institute of Design of Azerbaijan Oil). Their daughter, Elena Bairamian, also became an architect. In 1970 Fuks received a position in Moscow, and the family followed the next year. In Moscow, Val found employment as project architect at central Giprogor, where she remained until the perestroika years. At this time, she worked on such projects as a sanatorium for 300 people in Essentuki; Young Pioneer Camp in Pyatigorsk; Young Pioneer Camp for 800 children in Gelendzhik region, Kabardinka village; sanatorium of the Council of Ministers in Kaykent, Dagestan; microregion B-6, Volgodonsk (for which she designed low-rise residential dwellings with internal courtyards). 

In the late 1980s, Val’s Giprogor colleague Andrey Kosinsky opened an independent architecture office EkoStil, where Val worked until 1993. Her most important project at that time was a series of residential buildings for Abakan, Russia (unrealized).

In 1993, Val emigrated to Germany, where she spent her later years.
