Présentation de l'éditeur :
Studio Mumbai is a human infrastructure of skilled craftsmen and
architects who design and build the work directly. Gathered through
time, this group shares an environment created from an iterative
process, where ideas are explored through the production of large-scale
mock-ups, models, material studies, sketches and drawings.
Projects are
developed through careful consideration of place and a practice that
draws from traditional skills, local building techniques, materials and
an ingenuity arising from limited resources.
The practice was started in
1995 by Bijoy Jain. Projects include the Studio Mumbai Work-Place in
Nagaon, the Casa Tara in Kashid, the Leti 360 Resort in Leti, the
Palmyra House in Nandgaon.
