Bijoy Jain
BIJOY JAIN was born in Mumbai, India in 1965 and received his M. Arch from Washington University in St Louis, USA in 1990. He worked in Los Ange- les and London between 1989 and 1995 and returned to India in 1995 to found his practice.
Studio Mumbai is a human infrastructure of skilled craftsmen and architects who design and build the work directly.
Gathered through time, this group shares an environment created from an iterative process, where ideas are explored though the production of large-scale mock-ups, models, material studies, sketches and drawings.
Projects are developed through careful consideration of place and a practice that draws from traditional skills, local building techniques, materials, and an ingenuity arising from limited resources.
The essence of the work lies in the relationship between land and architecture. The endeavour is to show the genuine possibility in creating buildings that emerge through a process of collective dialogue and a face-to-face sharing of knowledge.
Bijoy Jain and Studio Mumbai appear frequently at international exhibitions: Japan, Great Britain, France, Swiss. Until the latest edition of Biennale dell’Architettura in Venice.
