Doshi: The Art of Balkrishna
Roshini Vadehra and Khushnu Panthaki Hoof
This never-before-undertaken project is the first quintessential guide to celebrating Balkrishna Doshi the painter. One of the few pioneers of modern architecture in India and a celebrated post-modern artist, Doshi’s practices create a dialogue between a profound Western influence (by working with Le Corbusier for eight years) and a treasury of Indian sensibility – bringing to Doshi’s art, just as in his architecture, a cognitive universality that prioritizes experience and expression. Including an extensive interview with Serpentine Gallery Artistic Director Hans Ulrich Obrist.
Balkrishna Doshi, *1927 in Pune, †2023 in Ahmedabad, India. Architect and urban planner, lived & worked in Ahmedabad. Founding director of the School of Architecture, Ahmedabad, in 1962 and the School of Planning in 1972. Global Award for Sustainable Architecture 2007, Pritzker Architecture Prize 2018.
