Balkrishna Doshi, one of the Indian subcontinent's most celebrated architects, has died at the age of 95.
"Doshi was instrumental in shaping the discourse of architecture throughout India and internationally since the 1950s," said an emailed statement from the Pritzker Prize."Influenced by 20th-century masters, Le Corbusier and Louis Kahn, he explored the relationships between fundamental needs of human life, connectivity to self and culture, and social traditions.
Typical of Doshi's pioneering housing complexes, the Aranya Low Cost Housing Project features an intricate network of interconnected passages, courtyards and public spaces.But Doshi was prolific elsewhere, completing more than 100 projects in cities including Bangalore, Hyderabad and Jaipur. Although of international renown, his work was almost exclusively focused on his home country.
