u003cpu003eBalkrishna Doshi constantly demonstrates that all good architecture and urban planning must not only unite purpose and structure but must take into account climate, site, technique and craft. -Pritzker Prize 2018 jurorsu003c/pu003eu003cpu003eThe 2018 Pritzker Architecture Prize winner Balkrishna Doshi is one of India's most influential architects, renowned for his harmonious designs that merge the formal language of classical modernism with Indian building traditions and local craft skills. Always designed with a sensitivity to the social, environmental and economic conditions of a given commission or site, Doshi's architecture honors the past while at the same time accommodating the rapidly changing conditions and needs of modern India. Doshi has designed more than 100 buildings--educational and cultural institutions, public buildings, private residences and low-income housing projects among them--and has taught scores of students over the course of his 60-year career, a career distinguished by a sense of responsibility and dedication to the country and communities he has served. u003cpu003eu003ciu003eBalkrishna Doshi: Architecture for the Peopleu003c/iu003e presents the first comprehensive survey of this groundbreaking architect's oeuvre in over 20 years. With a complete overview of all of Doshi's projects, it provides insights into the inspiration behind his work and the background to his projects through essays written by outstanding experts in the field. The richly illustrated book is further supplemented by an interview with the architect, an illustrated biography and new photographs that document the impressive timeliness of the Indian master's buildings. u003cpu003eu003cbu003eBalkrishna Doshiu003c/bu003e (born 1927) began his architecture studies in 1947 before working with Le Corbusier and Louis Kahn in Chandigarh and Ahmedabad. He founded his own practice, Vastu Shilpa Consultants, in 1956, combining the lessons he learned from this earlier generation of architects with an understanding of Indian architectural traditions. In 2018, Doshi became the first-ever Indian winner of the prestigious Pritzker Architecture Prize.u003c/pu003e--Jason Farago "New York Times"

    "los relámpagos de lucidez que en un texto como este iluminan la compleja escena no pretenden convencer al lector de una determinada tesis, bien por el contrario, lo comprometen con el texto y lo obligan a una lectura reposada, encontrando a lo largo de ella momentos de lucidez que le harán sentirse próximo a lo que fue el drama de Mies.

  • TRANSPARENT ARCHITECTURE
    GILBERT, GORDON
    First used in the 15th century, the word transparent has origins in the Medieval Latin – transparere, meaning to show through. It’s original Latin derivation is trans + parere, meaning to show oneself. The projects in this book point to an architecture that seemingly suggests a multiplicity of qualities. Paradoxically, it is also an architecture that reveals itself and its own...

    El pragmatismo, en su acepción que aquí compete, es "la tendencia a conceder primacía al valor práctico de las cosas sobre cualquier otro valor". Esa definición se aplica en la filosofía del estudio de arquitectura y su nombre lo revela: Pragma debe su nombre a la palabra griega que significa "hecho", "acción". A ese impulso debe su arquitectura. La suya es una visión que busca...
