It is with great sadness that the AA has learned of the passing of Balkrishna Doshi, a dear friend to our community, who is well known for the creation of CEPT University (formerly Centre for Environmental Planning and Technology) in 1962, which remains the leading school of architecture in India today. The school has expanded over the years to include planning and the visual arts. Doshi was the recipient of the Pritzker Prize in 2018 and of the RIBA Gold Medal for 2022. He worked for Le Corbusier in Paris in the 1950s before returning to India to supervise his works in Ahmedabad.
