On this field trip we went to the Vitra Museum, it was very interesting to see bit of the history of some design classics, as well as get inspired by some designs exhibited in the even more so beautiful Herzog & De Meuron Building.

We will miss Balkrishna Doshi, renowned architect and urban planner and winner of the 2018 Pritzker Prize.⁠ ⁠ Images here are from 'Balkrishna Doshi: Architecture for the People,' published by @vitradesignmuseum which writes: ⁠ ⁠ "The renowned architect and urban planner was a pioneer of modern architecture in his home country of India, and the first Indian architect to receive the @pritzkerarchitectureprize During over 60 years of practice, Doshi has realised a wide range of projects, adopting principles of modern architecture and adapting them to local culture, traditions, resources, and nature.⁠ ⁠ Doshi’s humanist philosophy was shaped by his Indian roots as well as his western education and the rapidly changing context of Indian society since the early 1950s. His architectural vocabulary, which is both poetic and functional, was strongly influenced by what he learned from Le Corbusier, with whom he collaborated on the design of the Indian city of Chandigarh and on other projects, and from his experiences with Louis Kahn, who conceived the design for the Institute of Management. Reaching beyond these early models, Doshi developed an approach that oscillates between industrialism and primitivism, between modern architecture and traditional form. His practice was based on ideas of sustainability and aims to root architecture in a larger context of culture and environment as well as social, ethical, and religious beliefs.⁠"⁠ ⁠ #BalkrishnaDoshi⁠ ⁠ https://www.instagram.com/p/CnzeZCUOaIN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
