Vitra Design Museum to present the first international retrospective of Pritzker Prize-winning architect Balkrishna Doshi


The Pritzker Prize-winning architect Balkrishna Doshi has done much more than just design buildings over the course of his 70-year career. Considered a pioneer of low-cost housing, the architect, urban planner, and educator has made it his mission to promote the ways in which buildings and cities can contribute to the health of a society.

In a recent op-ed for the New York Times, Doshi, 91, reminded us that the built environment is like an organism, ever-growing and diverse. Calling for a biological city, the Indian architect wants design to enliven the spirit of the community. "Can we not apply these planning philosophies in the present to create a lasting environment of positive participatory culture?" he asks.
