Balkrishna Doshi: Writings on Architecture & Identity

The book is edited by Vera Simone Bader and has been published on October 16, 2019­, accompanying the Balkrishna Doshi Exhibition atthe Architekturmuseum der TUM, Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich.

Balkrishna Doshi (born 1927 in Pune, India) played a pivotal role in shaping of postcolonial architecture in India. He is a pioneer in addressing crucial issues of social housing and urbanization in India.

Balkrishna Doshi influenced the development of Indian architecture significantly through his teaching and lecturing activities and played a major role in the development of Ahmedabad into a center of Indian architectural education.

 This anthology assembles a selection of his writings, such as lectures, articles and essays.

One year after Indian architect Balkrishna Doshi was named the recipient of the 2018 Pritzker Architecture Prize, the retrospective exhibition Balkrishna Doshi: Architecture for the People opened at the Vitra Design Museum in Germany.

After the exhibition wrapped up in September 2019, it traveled to the Architekturmuseum der TUM in Munich for a three-month run that closed last month.

For that leg of the traveling exhibition, the museum's Vera Simone Bader edited a collection of Doshi's writings that also includes a short interview between the two at Kamala House, his home in Ahmedabad.

Balkrishna Doshi tells Bader, "for me, writing is clarifying my inner thoughts," and for me this statement starts to get at the lack of attention given to his writings.
