Studio Mumbai

Bijoy Jain was born in Mumbai in 1965 and received his Master of Architecture from Washington University in St. Louis, USA, in 1990. He worked in Los Angeles and London between 1989 and 1995 before returning to India in 1995 to found his own practice.

Studio Mumbai works with an interdisciplinary group of people across India, Japan and Europe. Architects, engineers, master builders, skilled craftsmen, technicians and draughtsmen are collectively involved in the research and development of the practice's work. This group shares an environment created through an iterative process, in which ideas are explored through the production of large-scale prototypes, models, material studies, sketches and drawings. Projects are developed through careful consideration of place and a practice based on local skills, building techniques, materials and the ingenuity that arises from limited resources.

The essence of the work lies in the relationship between man in nature and nature in man.
