Portrait Of A House: Conversations With BV Doshi
Portrait of a House: Conversations with BV Doshi is a remarkable book by photo artist Dayanita Singh as she draws the celebrated architect into conversation in an exploration of the kindred alchemy of their creative practices. Beginning when she first photographed him in his famed Kamala House (Dayanitaâs âfavourite temple of lightâ), named after BVâs wife, the book spans years of their conversations, presented alongside black-and-white portraits of the space filled with family. In a collaborative exchange, BV responds directly to these photographs, revealing hidden motivations behind his architectural innovations. At its core, Portrait of a House is an exploration of light, movement, and a homeâs capacity to guide its inhabitants, at turns lulling them to sleep or sparking them into animated conversation.
