Pioneering modernist architect Balkrishna Vithaldas Doshi, India’s only winner of the prestigious Pritzker Prize and a staunch advocate of low-cost housing for the poor, has died at the age of 95.

NEW DELHI, India -

Corbusier is best known in India for designing from scratch the concrete-clad city of Chandigarh which, like his other most famous works, was occasionally criticised for its perceived indifference to the natural environment and human needs. “My projects have been participatory in nature and relevant to the people for which it was designed,” he told AFP in a 2018 interview.

Doshi won the 2018 Pritzker Prize, architecture’s equivalent of the Nobel, with the jury lauding him for his masterful treatment of “climate, site, technique, and craft, along with a deep understanding and appreciation of the context in the broadest sense”.
