Hi ha una figura d'una persona que últimament m'acompanya durant la meva autorecerca com arquitecta, dona i persona. No la conec personalment tot i que m'agradaria. Les dues vegades que vaig assistir a alguna ponència d'ella vaig quedar-me encantada de la seva mirada cap al món i l'arquitectura. Una mirada construïda sobre una forta identitat pròpia, l'Índia, un desplaçament constant i creatiu entre molts països i una ment oberta al coneixement sense fi. Em quedo amb les seves últimes paraules a la darrera ponència d'ella en les jornades Low Tech del ETSAB:"it is important to dedicate time and effort, not just to the fruits of our work as architects, but also to the roots of our knowledge" (és important dedicar temps no només als fruits de la nostra feina com arquitectes sinó també a les arrels del nostre coneixement). És l'Anupama Kundoo.
"it is important to dedicate time and effort, not just to the fruits of our work as architects, but also to the roots of our knowledge"
“The key to building an affordable future must be education”, says Kundoo “and many thanks to Italcementi for supporting our installation at the 15th Venice Architecture Biennale. My architectural projects are about building knowledge across the community – craftspeople, engineers, designers, students, manufacturers, users – and empowering them to get the housing they need and can afford to have. The emphasis is on affordability through efficiency and inclusivity,” she adds. Kundoo relates Aravena’s theme of the battleground for architectural progress to the issue of processing dualities: “When the opposites in a duality work in union, there is enrichment and knowledge. If the quest for knowledge is ahead of the action, there is evolution (Mahabharata). If the impulse of action is ahead of reflection there can be destruction. Knowledge informs the act of building, and building widens knowledge.” (http://www.arcvision.org/)
