Studio Mumbai Architects (Bijoy and Priya Jain)

摘要

Studio Mumbai Architects presents an exquisite architectural poiesis through the crafting or weaving of the building with the landscape, and the crafted fabrication of the building itself. The result is a choreographed architecture, compelling also in its Zen-like sparseness and delightful elegance. The intense sensuality of the practice's work is palpable without ideological mediation, through the modulation of light, material crafts, tactility, contrasting colours, and a heightened awareness of the site. Seeking 'tradition' through materiality and crafting, the architects incorporate 'local' construction techniques as a Modernist aestheticisation of the unselfconscious tradition.
