Doshi’s urban-scale projects are based on the development of spatial processes that include the empowerment of residents, with the aim of strengthening neighbourhood networks for mutual support and, ultimately, collective identity. Each housing unit is articulated around an energy and sanitary core in an organic way and according to the specific needs. In this sense, his Aranya low-cost housing project stands out. Far from being inspired by modern urbanism, Doshi’s neighbourhood projects are based on a deep understanding of Indian idiosyncrasy and the cultural aspects of living.

Doshi explores the understanding of the habitat in its different dimensions and scales.
