Ambuja Neotia Group Announces New Memorial Exhibition and Award

News Desk, News Nation 360 : According to Ambuja Neotia Group, the second edition of the B.V. Doshi Memorial Exhibition will open today in Kalavaani, Swabhumi, Kolkata. The show, which is titled "Celebrating the Life and Work of Architect Girish Doshi," pays moving homage to the enduring legacy of India's first Pritzker Laureate, Balkrishna V. Doshi. The Group also announced the establishment of the Prabir Mitra Memorial Award as part of the memorable event. This yearly honour is given in remembrance of the late Prabir Mitra, a modest visionary whose integrity, wisdom, and principles inspired generations of architects. The Most Promising Architect, selected for their outstanding design, responsible practice, and social commitment, is honoured with this award. Architects Partha Ranjan Das, Subir Kumar Basu, Abin Chaudhuri, and Vivek Singh Rathore are on the award's first jury. The focus of this year's exhibition is Girish Doshi, one of B.V. Doshi's closest students, whose work exhibits restraint, clarity, and profound compassion. The show examines how his approach developed out of a dedication to simplicity, structural integrity, and interconnected spatial experiences rather than a need for spectacle through sketches, models, pictures, and reflective essays. SQUARE, an architectural and interior design firm with a strong cultural heritage in West Bengal and Kolkata in particular, was given the award in its inaugural year. The firm is also sensitive to the needs and trends of the younger generation in a global setting. Their highly stylised use of classic art forms culminates in a mature and joyous expression that demonstrates a harmonious growth in materials, graphical quality, and formal harmony. Architects, cultural theorists, design aficionados, and supporters of the Doshi heritage came together for the evening to ponder architecture as an art form and a duty. It evolved into a reminder of an inspiring way of thinking, creating, and living rather than just a celebration of specific works.
