Bijoy Jain: 2021 Awards for Distinction

Bijoy Jain, MArch90, was presented with the Sam Fox School Dean's Medal, which honors individuals whose extraordinary contributions have elevated the fields of art, architecture, and design, as part of the 2021 Awards for Distinction program. The internationally renowned architect is the founder of the Indian architectural practice Studio Mumbai.
This video features reflections were taken from a special conversation conducted remotely between Jain and Adrian Luchini, one of Jain’s former professors and now good friend. In their conversation, Jain reflected on his process and aesthetic, as well as how the idea of studio practice he learned at WashU continues to shape his approach.

I think Mr Bijoy Jain might be my favorite architect. Talented, profound & humble. I discovered Studio Mumbai's work a few years back & I remember the aesthetic & craftmanship of its team's body of work blew me away. Architecture can become redundant & souless at times, we are saturated by an endless flow of pretty images of whatever's trending, there's a vanity to it that makes it unattractive & repulsive, tbh. Very few dwellings have made a long lasting impact on me the way Palmyra house has. Years later, I still gasp at its simple beauty & the amazing craftmanship involved in building it.
