On legacy, learning, and architecture for the many.

A cinematic journey through the life and work of Indian architect Balkrishna Doshi, a Pritzker Prize laureate and a pioneer of sustainable, socially engaged architecture. Known for his collaborations with Le Corbusier and Louis Kahn, Doshi developed an architecture rooted in local materials, climate, and culture – always with people at the centre.

Filmed in the final years of his life, The Promise follows the architect as he revisits his most important projects, reflects on his legacy, and shares moments with those closest to him. It is a gentle yet powerful tribute to one of modern architecture’s most compassionate voices.

year: 2023, length: 90 min.

Om arv, læring og arkitektur for de mange.

En filmisk rejse gennem livet og værket hos den indiske arkitekt Balkrishna Doshi – modtager af Pritzker-prisen og pioner inden for bæredygtig og socialt engageret arkitektur. Kendt for sine samarbejder med Le Corbusier og Louis Kahn udviklede Doshi en arkitektur, der tog afsæt i lokale materialer, klima og kultur – altid med mennesket i centrum.

Filmet i de sidste år af hans liv følger The Promise arkitekten, mens han genbesøger sine vigtigste projekter, reflekterer over sin arv og deler øjeblikke med dem, der stod ham nærmest. Det er en nænsom, men kraftfuld hyldest til en af den moderne arkitekturs mest medfølende stemmer.
