 Lifetime Achievement Award
Dr. Balkrishna Vithaldas Doshi
Category: John Michael Kohler Lifetime Achievement Award

Balkrishna Vithaldas Doshi is an Indian architect and a significant name in the evolution of architectural discourse who has pioneered in modernist and brutalist architecture while keeping it relevant to the Indian context. Commencing his architectural journey with education at Sir J. J. School of Architecture in Mumbai, Doshi proceeded to London in 1950 and worked with Le Corbusier—one of the masters of modern architecture. Returning back to the country and working in Le Corbusier’s atelier for the city of Chandigarh, Doshi adopted his formal vocabulary and attempted to incorporate it into his early works. With a focus on India’s past, spatial experiences and their significance for the built environment, his projects resonated with the Indian identity rather than the design motifs that had intrigued the British. Some of the many noteworthy projects of the architect are FLAME University, IIM Bangalore, IIM Udaipur, NIFT Delhi, Amdavad ni Gufa, CEPT University and the Aranya Low Cost Housing development in Indore. He is awarded with two of India’s highest civilian awards: Padma Shri and Padma Bhushan.
