Quotes
Madhusudhan Chalasani
Architect and founder and principal architect of Studio MADe
“Publicness is not declared but constructed — through voids, thresholds and streets that let the city continue through a building. This exhibition gathers nearly two decades of that pursuit, mostly unrealised, in memory of an architect who saw built form as a backdrop for shared life.”

Chairman of Ambuja Neotia Group, promoter of the event
“B.V. Doshi Memorial Exhibition was conceived not simply to remember an extraordinary architect, but to continue the conversations that he inspired. Through this year’s exhibition and the Prabir Mitra Memorial Award, we celebrate architecture that places people at its centre, engages thoughtfully with the public realm and contributes meaningfully to society.”
