Balkrisna Doshi is an Indian architect. He is considered to be an important figure of Indian architecture and noted for his contributions to the evolution of architectural discourse in India. In 2018, he became the first Indian architect to receive the Pritzker Architecture Prize. 

This is my wooden 3D design of Sangath Architect’s Studio in Ahmedabad, India. The last winner of the video “My first Pritzker” that summarizes in an original and short way, 39 years of this reputable prize, a very valuable information that any architect or student should known. I hope this video will help the spreading it all over the world and be known for many people from different fields and professions, so they can enjoy it as much as I have doing it.

Danish National Maritime Museum

Danish architecture studio BIG has completed an underground maritime museum that loops around an old dry dock in Helsingør, Denmark 

Rather than filling the empty dock, BIG chose to repurpose it as a public courtyard at the centre of the new museum, then added a series of bridges that cut into the 60-year-old walls. 

“By wrapping the old dock with the museum program we simultaneously preserve the heritage structure, while transforming it to a courtyard bringing daylight and air in to the heart of the submerged museum,” said Bjarke Ingels, the founding partner of BIG.

“With this project, the questions were always: How does a foundation like this present itself to the public? What type of space works best for the art? How does it relate to the city? Then you also have to consider how to do a project in Mexico – how to optimize the light, make it suited to the climate and so on – it’s a case of putting all those things together. From the beginning I was very interested in the fact that Mexico City has a climate that allows you to explore the possibilities of opening and closing a building in a much more radical way than you could in northern Europe for instance.” – David Chipperfield

SOULAGES MUSEUM 

(…) When Pierre Soulages, the greatest living painter in France, announced his intention to manage the construction of a museum in his home town Rodez in which it would be shown an important donation of the his work from his private collection, a huge amount of architectural offices entered the competition. Four teams made the cut: Marc Barani, Paul Andreu, Kengo Kuma and RCR. The main difference between the winning proposal (RCR) and the other three is the very concept of intervention, differentiated from the other by two main features. The first of them was the way of conceiving the location and the second the relationship between the building and the work to be exhibited. (…)

This video is a list of all the winners of the Pritzker Prize, one of most important prize in architecture that each year is given to honor a living architect for his built work. It had begun in 1979 with Philip Johnson and has finished in 2018 with Balkrishna Doshi.

We choose one of the selected works for each of the 41 winners and create the building using simply wooden shape, like a child game, to represent them in an iconic and synthetic way so it can be easily recognized.

In the research I have became acquainted with incredibles architects and their awesome work. I think, My First Pritzker summarizes in an original and short way, 39 years of this reputable prize, a very valuable information that any architect or student should known. I hope this video will help the spreading it all over the world and be known for many people from different fields and professions, so they can enjoy it as much as I have doing it.

CURTAIN WALL HOUSE

Tokyo, Japan

1995

By Shigeru Ban Architects

The client of this house has long enjoyed an open and free “downtown-culture” lifestyle in this formerly Japanese-style house. The house is intended to be opened up as much as possible to the exterior so that the owner can maintain this kind of attitude in contemporary life with the use of contemporary materials. Wide deck spaces are attached on the east and south sides of the second-floor living room and tent-like curtains are hung on the outer facade spanning between the second and third floors. Interior conditions such as view, light, and wind are controlled by opening and closing this Japanese style “curtain wall”. In winter, the external glazed doors and the curtains can be completely closed for insulating effect. This thin membrane takes the place of shoji screens, fusuma doors, shutters, and sudare screens in the traditional Japanese house.

My First Pritzker, a video with all the winners of this incredible prize.

By Andrea Stinga

In 2012, Wang became the first Chinese citizen to win the Pritzker Prize, the world’s top prize in architecture. The award was the subject of some controversy since the Pritzker committee did not also award Lu Wenyu, his wife and architectural partner, despite their years of collaboration.
