• B. Santiago Calatrava
• C. B. V. Doshi
• D. Charles Correa

Hint:

Only Liu Jiakun (2025) and B. V. Doshi (2018) have actually won the Pritzker Architecture Prize among the four names given; Calatrava and Correa have not.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A, C

This question is a straightforward recall check: has each named architect actually won the Pritzker Architecture Prize, or are they simply famous enough to be confused for a laureate? Go through the four names one at a time.

1. Liu Jiakun: awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2025. He is a confirmed laureate.
2. Santiago Calatrava: internationally known for his bridges and transit stations, but the Pritzker jury has never selected him. He is not a laureate.
3. B. V. Doshi: awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2018, the first Indian architect to receive it. He is a confirmed laureate.
4. Charles Correa: one of India's most celebrated architects and frequently discussed as an omission from the prize, but he never actually received it. He is not a laureate.

Two of the four names, Liu Jiakun and B. V. Doshi, are genuine Pritzker Architecture Prize winners; the other two are not, no matter how prominent their body of work is.

Let's summarize:

• Being a well known or influential architect does not automatically mean a Pritzker win; check the actual laureate list.
• Confirmed laureates here: Liu Jiakun (2025) and B. V. Doshi (2018).

So the correct answers are Liu Jiakun and B. V. Doshi.
