Bijoy Jain practised at a period when the terms of architecture itself were under argument.
The record lists Bijoy Jain as Indian architect (born 1965).
Bijoy Jain was born at Mumbai in 1965. His recorded nationality is India. He trained at Washington University in St. Louis.
Contemporary practice is global, computational and preoccupied with energy: the profession's central question is now what a building costs the climate.
He is recorded as architect.
Buildings outlast their architects and usually their purposes, which is what makes the discipline unforgiving.
Recognition followed: honorary doctorate of Hasselt University.
That the work was built in India shaped it: climate, materials, planning law and who holds the budget all decide what can actually be built.
Bijoy Jain is still practising, and the body of work is not yet complete.
