The Ambuja Neotia Group has unveiled the 2nd edition of the B.V. Doshi Memorial Exhibition at Kalaavani, Swabhumi, Kolkata. The exhibition, open from August 29 to September 14, honors the legacy of India’s first Pritzker Prize-winning architect, Balkrishna V. Doshi. This year’s exhibition is dedicated to the life and work of architect Girish Doshi, a protégé of B.V. Doshi, and showcases his ethos of simplicity, structural integrity, and human connection.
The exhibition features original sketches, models, photographs, and essays that highlight the thoughtful and restrained approach of both B.V. Doshi and Girish Doshi. Alongside the exhibition, the Ambuja Neotia Group has instituted the Prabir Mitra Memorial Award, a national recognition for promising architects. The award, carrying a prize of ₹5 lakhs, was presented to SQUARE, an architecture and interior consultancy that blends regional artistic traditions with globally relevant design language.
“Through the B.V. Doshi Memorial Exhibition and the Prabir Mitra Memorial Award, we aim to celebrate not only great architecture but also the humane and enduring values that shape the profession — values of integrity, restraint, and purpose,” said Harshavardhan Neotia, Chairman, Ambuja Neotia Group.
