Pritzker Laureate Balkrishna Doshi to Deliver Primary Speech at The Boston Architectural College”s 2021 Commencement – MENAFN.COM

Balkrishna Doshi is uniquely suited to address The Boston Architectural College's latest generation of design leaders. "It is an immense honor to have Balkrishna Doshi deliver the BAC's commencement address to the graduating class this year," said President Mahesh Daas. "His legendary work has made outstanding contributions to the world culture, transformed communities and inspired generations of designers―including me. As with all timeless buildings and cities, Doshi's work defines and elevates human condition through design excellence." President Daas recalls Prof. Doshi's own words that "Building should evolve to express time." Influenced by 20th-century architectural giants Le Corbusier (Charles-Édouard Jeanneret) and Louis Kahn, Prof. Doshi's 70-year legacy is one of education, thought leadership, and ethics. Prof. Doshi's work respects Eastern culture while cutting across genres and socio-economic boundaries. His approach to architecture has always provided a unique perspective—embracing culture and creative form. As Prof. Doshi once said, "The whole environment is alive and constantly moving. You cannot see air but the moment we see the leaves moving we are aware of its presence." Prof. Doshi is uniquely suited to address the BAC's latest generation of design leaders as they continue the institution's commitment to furthering spatial justice and design excellence. In
