B.V. Doshi's architecture in India

B. V. Doshi is one of India’s most revered architects, and the first from the country to win the Pritzker Prize. In this episode, James Hamilton visits three of B.V. Doshi’s most iconic projects in Ahmedabad: Tagore Hall, the Institute of Indology, and Amdavad ni Gufa. Each reveals Doshi’s uniquely Indian approach to tropical modernism — blending concrete, culture, and community. 📐 Topics covered: ● Why Doshi believed architecture is about people, not buildings ● How climate and tradition shaped his use of form ● What makes Tagore Hall acoustically and socially radical ● The lessons of the Institute of Indology’s courtyards ● Why Amdavad ni Gufa redefined the art gallery 📐 Follow us: Website: jameshamiltonarchitects.com Instagram: @james_hamilton_architects TikTok: @jameshamiltonarchitects "An Architect's Perspective" is produced by OneFinePlay.
