Abstract
Interview with the Indian architect Anupama Kundoo who develops her practice, research, and teaching in a strongly interconnected way. Her works starts from two principles: the low impact for the environment of her proposals and the strong contention that she establishes with the socioeconomic context in which they are. Besides, she has developed her work in different cultural contexts around the world, which gives a wide view to the issues of contemporary architecture. From this point of view, Kundoo reflects a necessary approach of understanding Architecture that, ten years after the global economic crisis, moves away from the positions of the start architect system and faces the profession’s future from her personal attitude.
