Opening Talk "Balkrishna Doshi: Architecture for the People" Friday, 29 March 2019 Vitra Design Museum Balkrishna Doshi is regarded as India’s most important architect and was distinguished with the renowned Pritzker Prize in 2018. In conjunction with the opening of the Vitra Design Museum exhibition »Balkrishna Doshi: Architecture for the People«, Doshi discussed his work and ideals. His talk focused on the connection between modern architecture and Indian building traditions as well as sustainability and the aim to conceive architectural structures that are adapted to the desires and needs of their inhabitants. The discussion also offered insights into the fascinating career of this nonagenarian – from the beginning of his studies at Sir J.J. College of Architecture in Mumbai in 1947, to his years in the Paris studio of Le Corbusier, to the activities of Doshi’s own architectural firm Vastushilpa, which he still runs today. The event was moderated by Swiss art historian Philip Ursprung. #VDMDoshi More: https://www.design-museum.de/doshi/en
