Edition 1 - A Life In Architecture
GIDO
A Life In Architecture
This exhibition looks back at nearly four decades of work by architect Girish Doshi, based in Pune. Rather than a dense architectural showcase, it has been kept simple and open — built for anyone to walk through and connect with, whether or not they know the language of architecture.
A central section of the show, built around nine of his residential projects, brings out how he shapes light, space and scale — using models and photographs to show how small, modest homes can still feel open and generous.

Girish Doshi is the principal architect of Navkar Architects based in Pune. After graduating from BKPS School of Architecture, Pune University in 1980, he joined Master Architect Balkrishna Doshis studio 'Sangath' in Ahmedabad. After seven years of apprenticeship with him, he started his own studio Navkar Architects in 1987. Girish Doshi's construction technique is strongly influenced by his Engineer guru Vishnu Joshi who taught him the Art of Ferrogami, Poured Rubble Masonry and concrete block technique for cost-effective load bearing construction now known as 'Vishnu Paddhat. Due to this Navkar Architects has had a fairly long spell of Design and Build practice. Inspired from Laurie Baker his major part of practice includes single family houses in tier two and three cities of Maharashtra.
In 2007, he started a forum with likeminded architects ROAD - Room Open 2 Art Design', where he promotes young talent, organizes sessions inviting people from varied fields. When it comes to design philosophy, 'We at Navkar strongly believe that architecture is not a simple manipulation of forms, but is about the construction of space and place.
