Alvar Aalto Medal 2020: Bijoy Jain. Studio Mumbai

The fourteenth Alvar Aalto Medal has been awarded to the Indian architectural office Studio Mumbai and its director Bijoy Jain. The Studio Mumbai exhibition showcases the work of an office where architecture and craftsmanship are seamlessly intertwined in ways that pay exemplary attention to the local conditions.

Studio Mumbai has created for the Museum of Finnish Architecture a vivid impression of their architectural practice. On display in the exhibition are artifacts and handmade prototypes made from local materials. The studies in form provide an enlightening example of the office’s work process, where they serve as the artistic starting point for the buildings under construction.

Alvar Aalto Medal, carrying the name of the beloved architect and designed by Aalto himself, was founded in 1967 in order to honor creative architectural work.

The medal can be given to live persons who have gained merit in the field of creative architecture in a very significant way.
