Dr. Balkrishna Doshi is foremost among the modern Indian architects. An urban planner and educator for the past 70 years, Dr. Doshi is a Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects and a Fellow of the Indian Institute of Architects. This autobiography captures Doshi's career from his childhood to his studies in Bombay and London, his work at Atelier Le Corbusier in Paris and collaboration with Louis I Kahn for IIM Ahmedabad. It recounts his meetings with the most remarkable persons in his own and allied fields, and his equally remarkable patrons, who include the likes of Dr. Vikram Sarabhai, Sheth Kasturbhai Lalbhai, and the story of his own family. Doshi's life--from the time he was born into a modest family in the by-lanes of Pune, and his struggles and tenacity to excel in his chosen fields--is a fascinating and inspiring story. Put together, for the first time, from the lifelong diaries and notes maintained by him, 'Paths Uncharted' is a personal recounting of this remarkable journey unfolding over more than 80 years and across all the continents.

Balkrishna Doshi (born 1927 in Pune, India) played a pivotal role in shaping of postcolonial architecture in India. He is a pioneer in addressing crucial issues of social housing and urbanization in India. Doshi influenced the development of Indian architecture significantly through his teaching and lecturing activities and played a major role in the development of Ahmedabad into a center of Indian architectural education. This anthology assembles a selection of his writings, such as lectures, articles and essays. Doshi, who worked for Le Corbusier in Paris for six years in the 1950s, has also always sought contacts with Western architects, for example by promoting the work of Louis Kahn in India. The book is published to accompany the opening of the Balkrishna Doshi Exhibition at the Architekturmuseum der TUM, Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich.

Balkrishna V. Doshi (b. 1927 in Pune) is one of the most influential pioneers of modern architecture in India. His life's work was honored in 2018 with the prestigious Pritzker Prize. Doshi has realized more than one hundred projects, including administrative and cultural facilities, housing developments, and residential buildings. He has become internationally known for his visionary urban planning and social housing projects, as well as his involvement in education. His most important buildings include the School of Architecture in Ahmedabad (1966-68) and the Aranya housing development in Indore (1989). 'Balkrishna Doshi: Architecture for the People' is the first overview of the architect's work in over twenty years, analyzing his most important works and providing timely context to his oeuvre. In-depth academic texts by outstanding experts in the field, including Kenneth Frampton, Kazi Ashraf, and Juhani Pallasmaa, give insights into the inspiration behind Doshi's work and background to his projects, as well as his lasting influence on younger generations. The richly illustrated survey comes complete with a detailed biography and new photographs of his buildings, which demonstrate the impressive timeliness of the Indian master's approach to a wide variety of typologies.

Tout au long du XXe siècle, les architectes n'ont cessé de réagir aux conséquences de la révolution industrielle en faisant entrer dans le champ de leurs recherches et de leurs réalisations des thèmes et des procédés nouveaux qui avaient en commun de répondre à des objectifs devenus impérieux : l'amélioration de l'équilibre entre l'homme et son environnement urbain, la protection et la mise en valeur des espaces naturels. Aussi, cette écologie architecturale s'est-elle attachée à proposer des alternatives pour : adapter l'architecture urbaine à la croissance démographique de l'ère post-industrielle ; mieux gérer l'extension incontrôlable des villes et de leurs périphéries qui s'était faite au détriment des espaces naturels ; favoriser les économies d'énergies rendues indispensables par les crises pétrolières et les déficits en eau ; participer à la lutte contre les pollutions de tous ordres ; restaurer et réhabiliter les friches industrielles ou les sites naturels endommagés ; contribuer au développement durable en privilégiant les matériaux, les modes de production et les savoir-faire traditionnels et locaux ; respecter les normes environnementales en vigueur, voire contribuer à leur définition ; créer des espaces de vie harmonieux, esthétiques et confortables qui réconcilient l'homme avec son habitat. Parmi les nombreux architectes aujourd'hui engagés dans la défense d'un habitat plus écologique et d'une nature mieux protégée, certains se tournent vers les visionnaires du siècle passé - dont les "excentricités" ont désormais valeur de modèles -, tandis que d'autres proposent, non sans provocation, d'ingénieuses combinaisons de nouvelles technologies et d'expériences avant-gardistes. C'est toute l'histoire de cette intégration progressive des questions environnementales dans l'habitat que retrace cette Architecture écologique, outil précieux pour les praticiens et étudiants en architecture, mais également pour tous ceux que concerne l'avenir de notre planète.
