		+
		+	Ahmedabad : Distinguished architect Balkrishna Vithaldas (BV) Doshi (95), who worked with architecture legends of the 20th century like Le Corbusier and Louis Kahn, breathed his last at his residence in Ahmedabad on Tuesday. Doshi is considered a pioneer of modernist and brutalist architecture in India.
		+
		+	Doshi was the first Indian to be awarded the Pritzker Prize — considered to be the Nobel Prize of Architecture — in 2018 and Padma Bhushan, the third-highest civilian award in India, in 2020. PM Narendra Modi and leading Indian and international names from the architecture fraternity paid rich tributes to Doshi.
		+
		+	The PM tweeted: “Dr. BV DoshiJi was a brilliant architect and a remarkable institution builder. The coming generations will get glimpses of his greatness by admiring his rich work across India. His passing away is saddening. Condolences to his family and admirers. Om Shanti. ”
		+
		+	Born in Pune in 1927, Doshi made Ahmedabad his home, the city which houses some of his most celebrated works, including Faculty of Planning at CEPT, Amdavad ni Gufa, and Tagore Memorial Hall. He also assisted Corbusier and Kahn on projects like ATMA House and IIM Ahmedabad, respectively.
		+
		+	Doshi’s architecture was globally feted for its minimalism and ecofriendly approach. In his citation for the Pritzker Prize, the jury had noted, “Doshi has always created an architecture that is serious, never flashy or a follower of trends… all good architecture and urban planning must not only unite purpose and structure but must take into account climate, site, technique, and craft, along with a deep understanding and appreciation of the context in the broadest sense. ”

		+
		+
		+	'''ARANYA LOW COST HOUSING, INDORE'''
		+
		+	Completed in 1989, this Township was designed to establish a sense of community and facilitate harmony between the built environment and its inhabitants. It was also the recipient of the prestigious Aga Khan Award for Architecture in 1996.
		+
		+
		+	'''ATIRA HOUSING, AHMEDABAD'''
		+
		+	One of Doshi’s older projects, construction on this complex began in 1956 and was completed in 1960. The ATIRA factory and its homes are located in a green front area at the Indian Institute of Management. It is a small complex that reveals many similarities to Le Corbusier’s projects.
		+
		+
		+	'''ECIL, HYDERABAD'''
		+
		+	The ECIL township was built by Doshi between 1969 and 1971, and was part of a planned expansion of the Hyderabad electronics industry. The settlement is about 15 km from the centre of Hyderabad. Doshi designed the structure specifically for Hyderabad’s climate, by using charts to establish sun angles and wind direction so that it can best exploit it through openings and shorts.
		+
		+
		+	'''IFFCO TOWNSHIP, KALOL'''
		+
		+	Another economically driven housing project, this eco-friendly township was designed as part of the expansion of the Indian Farmers Fertilizer Co-operative Ltd.
		+
		+
		+	'''JNANA-PRAVAH CENTRE FOR CULTURAL STUDIES, VARANASI'''
		+
		+	Inaugurated in 2001, the new building of Jnana-Pravaha, was christened Pratichi, by then Governor of Uttar Pradesh, Professor Vishnu Kant Shastri. The building houses a multi-purpose hall, seminar and classrooms, an exhibition area, a library, museum, and an entire block dedicated to the administration.
		+
		+
		+	'''SAWAI GANDHARVA, PUNE'''
		+
		+	Built in this hometown of Pune, this performance art centre took more than 10 years to complete, starting in 1990 to 2001
		+
		+
		+	'''TAGORE HALL, AHMEDABAD'''
		+
		+	A truly Brutalist building, a series of rigid concrete folded plates frame the outer shell to this hall. The hall, located on the banks of Sabarmati River, was designed by Doshi in 1966. Inside the hall is a ‘seating bowl’ with a capacity of 700.
		+
		+
		+	'''LIC HOUSING, AHMEDABAD'''
		+
		+	Designed in 1973 for the Life Insurance Corporation in Ahmedabad, this complex was locally called Bima Nagar. It consists of 324 units arranged in a duplex terraced unit scheme on 54 plots. The initial development was focused on efficient provision of sites and services with a phased plan for growth.
		+
		+
		+	'''SANGATH, BV DOSHI’S OFFICE, AHMEDABAD'''
		+
		+	The iconic roofscape of Sangath is easy to recognise. The space features a series of sunken vaults sheathed in China mosaic, a small terraced amphitheatre with intricate water details.
		+
		+
		+	'''NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF FASHION TECHNOLOGY, NEW DELHI'''
		+
		+	Completed in 1986, while the campus occupies the entire plot, they are strategically clustered to form units comprising of classrooms, labs, common lobby, and service spaces
		+
		+
		+	'''CEPT UNIVERSITY, AHMEDABAD'''
		+
		+	CEPT’s motto in many ways has been to build the professional capacities of its students—and the architecture and planning reflect this. The exposed brick buildings combined with the vast open spaces and lawns have an ageless charm.
		+
		+
		+	'''PREMABHAI HALL, AHMEDABAD'''
		+
		+	While the hall had ceased operation because of fire safety concerns, in 2009 it was announced that the hall will get a new lease of life as a City Centre. This revitalization was part of the development of the Pedestrian Pathway and Plaza between Bhadra Fort and Teen Darwaza.
		+
		+
		+	'''AMNAVAD NI GUFA'''
		+
		+	Previously known as Husain-Doshi ni Gufa, this underground art gallery was completed in 1995 to showcase the works of MH Husain. The gallery is a juxtaposition of architecture and art. The cave-like underground structure has tree-like columns that support the multiple interconnected domes, which are covered with a mosaic of tiles.
		+
		+
		+	'''VIDYADHAR NAGAR, JAIPUR'''
		+
		+	In the 1980s, BV Doshi was commissioned to plan this vast new township situated in the north-west of the walled city of Jaipur. It is proposed to accommodate over a 100,000 people on a 400-hectare site. The plan is a mix of wide central avenues and tight secondary streets with protective approach roads, a perfect blend of Chandigarh and Jaipur.
