Breath of an Architect at Fondation Cartier
Indian architect and designer Bijoy Jain, founder of Studio Mumbai, is celebrated at Fondation Cartier through a captivating exhibition titled “Le souffle de l’architecte” (Breath of an Architect), in which he illustrates his deep attachment to the relationship between man and nature.
Here, there are no fancy effects, no plans, no models, no projects, but rather an immersion in the sensory, the impression. Bijoy Jain lets us experience the way he perceives the elements that surround him – the environment, materials, colours… – fragments that, when brought together, sharpen our imagination.
The “Breath of an Architect” is a journey from the inside to the outside of the building, like a breath, a “capture” that inspires and nourishes our own creativity, through the tangible and simple beauty of the installations.
The architect sees his projects as representations of the inherent link between the living space and the inhabitant.
What we liked:
Everything! The airy scenography, the South Asia textures and colours, organic shapes, the tranquillity of the space, the raw materials, the lightness and simplicity of the volumes.
Our designer’s view
A great source of inspiration for our future projects.– BRENDA
