MPavilion 2016

The Naomi Milgrom Foundation has announced that the commission for the third annual MPavilion has been awarded to acclaimed Indian architect Bijoy Jain, founder of Studio Mumbai.

Jain develops projects with a careful consideration of place and practice; he draws on traditional skills, local building techniques and materials and cultivates design ingenuity arising from sometimes limited resources.

He has had his work presented at the XII Venice Biennale and Victoria & Albert Museum, and in 2014 was awarded the Grande Medaille d’Or from the Academie D’Architecture in Paris.

“Bijoy Jain is one of the world’s most fascinating architects,” says Naomi Milgrom AO, Chair of the Naomi Milgrom Foundation. “His approach to design reflects a deep concern for craft, sustainability and community. Studio Mumbai’s work inspires us all to reconsider the way we design and continues MPavilion’s interest in collaboration and global connectedness.”

Commenting on his commission, Bijoy Jain said, “I’m honoured to be commissioned by the Naomi Milgrom Foundation to design the next MPavilion in Melbourne. I want it to be a symbol of the elemental nature of communal structures.”

MPavilion 2016 will be presented free to the public from 5th October, 2016 until 5th February, 2017. Further details can be found at mpavilion.org
