Aga Khan Program Lecture: Bijoy Jain, “Lore”
Studio Mumbai, founded by Bijoy Jain, works with a human infrastructure of skilled artisans, technicians, and draftsmen who design and build the work directly. This group shares an environment created through an iterative process, where ideas are explored via large-scale mock-ups, models, material studies, sketches, and drawings. Projects are developed by careful consideration of place and practice, drawing from traditional skills, local building techniques and materials, and an ingenuity arising from limited resources. Bijoy Jain was born in Mumbai, India, and received his MArch from Washington University in St Louis in 1990. He worked in Los Angeles and London from 1989 to 1995 and returned to India in 1995 to found his practice. The work of Studio Mumbai has been presented at the 12th International Architecture Exhibition (2010) organized by the Venice Biennale and the Victoria & Albert Museum, and has received several awards, including the Global Award in Sustainable Architecture (2009) finalist for the 11th cycle of the Aga Khan Award for Architecture (2010), winner of the seventh Spirit of Nature Wood Architecture Award, Finland (2012), winner of the third BSI Swiss Architecture Award (2012), and, most recently, the Grande Medaille d’Or from the Academie d’Architecture, Paris (2014). The University of Hasselt, Belgium, bestowed an honorary doctorate on Bijoy Jain in 2014. He has taught in Copenhagen (2012), at Yale University (2013), and in Mendrisio, Switzerland (2014 and 2015).

Utterly fascinating! Bijoy is an inspiration!

So glad for that last point.
His question really did not make any sense to me. He should have been straight forward about his question. Would have been really nice if someone asked a question with real logic.
very beautiful work in studio mumbai architecture work and carpenters
So many questions during the course of this lecture... Inner Engineering by the isha foundation is a good place to start.. Especially is you are talking about Ellora. I would start right away though, you guys look quite old, not much time left 😸

His ramblings are rather nonsensical aren't they? lots of words, very little coherence.

Not to mention, he is quite a womanizer and an ass to his interns and students. Many people working for him don’t get paid. Slimeball really

It's like asking an artist why and what does he do. Ofcourse that artist is going to ramble and try to connect dots and try to make a meaning out of all of it. At the end of the day, you have to see what that artist has created and what was the process. If you find it interesting, you'll try to collect it or be a part of it in some way or another. If you cannot understand it or make sense of it, you'll comment, like you already have, and move on to something which makes sense to you.
