Kenneth Frampton (born 1930) is Ware Professor of Architecture at New York’s Columbia University and a leading architectural historian and critic of our time. In the 1980s – the heyday of postmodernism – Frampton significantly developed the theory of critical regionalism, an architectural movement among whose protagonists he also counts Alvar Aalto. This interview was conducted for the Vitra Design Museum's exhibition "Alvar Aalto - Second Nature" (26.09.2014 - 01.03.2015) by Eeva-Liisa Pelkonen, a Professor of Architecture at Yale University and a leading researcher on Aalto's geopolitical influence.
