    The award-winning Spanish architect and educator Izaskun Chinchilla exemplifies the focus of this special issue of Zarch about Women, Feminist Practices, and Alternative Practitioners in Architecture. On December 28, 2021, co-editors Lucía C. Pérez-Moreno and Ann E. Komara interviewed Chinchilla. The following essay presents that conversation, edited for clarity and flow, highlighting their discussion of key thematic topics in this issue.

    Currently, Chinchilla is a Professor of Architectural Practice at The Bartlett School of Architecture (UCL, London). She studied at Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura in Madrid (ETSAM) from where she graduated in 2001, and got her Ph.D. in Architecture in 2016.

    Chinchilla is driving her own practice from 2001. Her work has been extensively published, awarded, and exhibited. This includes Venice Biennale in 2002, Bienal de Arquitectura Latinoamericana de Chile 2002, São Paulo Biennial 2003, Venice Biennale 2006, New Trends of Architecture Europe and Asia opened in Tokyo 2008, Biennal D’Art Leandre Cristófol in Centre d’Art La Panera in Lerida 2010, the traveling exhibition ‘A city called Spain’ visiting 7 international destinations 2011/2012, Innovación Abierta in Museo del Canal Interoceánico de Panama 2012, among others. Several built works, such as the House for Estela and César in Pueblo Nuevo (Madrid, 2007), the restoration of Castillo de Garcimuñoz (Cuenca, Spain, 2012) and the Organic Growth Pavilion (New York, USA, 2015) have been highlighted for trying to “open unconventional paths through researches and architectural education while being deeply concerned by a particular combination between social engagement, aesthetics and techniques to reinvent a new vision for ecological environment in her projects” (ArcVision Prize, 2013).
