Indian Architect Balkrishna Doshi has been selected as the winner of the 2018 Pritzker Prize. The 90-year-old architect has been practicing architecture for 70 years in which he designed more than 100 buildings and received multiple awards, finally crowned by the profession’s most prestigious award.
Balkrishna Doshi was born in the Indian city of Puna to a family that worked in the industry of furniture. At the age of 20, he started studying architecture at the Sir J.J. School of Architecture Bombay which happens to be the oldest and one of India?s most esteemed architecture institutes. After finishing his studies, the ambitious architect headed to London with the aim of joining the Royal Institute of British Architects. Doshi worked with celebrated pioneers of modern architecture, like Le Corbusier and Louis Kahn. In 1954, he returned to his home country India, and particularly to the cities of Ahmedabad and Chandigarh to supervise Le Corbusier?s under-construction projects in both locations. Also, eight years later, he co-worked with Louis Kahn to construct the notable Indian Institute of Management in Ahmedabad. On the other hand, he started his own Ahmedabad-based practice in 1956 and named it ?Vastushilpa?. The practice which started with Doshi himself and only two architects developed into a prestigious architecture firm with five partners and 60 employees, known as ?Vastushilpa Consultants.?
