MTalks—From Mumbai To Melbourne—MPavilion 2016 Design And Build Process • 11 Oct 2016

At the heart of Bijoy Jain and Studio Mumbai’s ethos is the concept of lore, defined as “a body of traditional knowledge passed on by word of mouth”. It follows that, in the creation of MPavilion, lore was heartily practiced when the MPavilion building team travelled to India to learn Studio Mumbai’s methods. This MTalk was a panel talk with the hands-on crew behind MPavilion’s build. Tony Isaacson from Kane Constructions, Helen Wellman from Tract Consultants, Sam Redston from Flot&Jet, lighting designer Ben Cobham from Bluebottle and senior structural engineer John Noel from ARUP engineering sat down to speak about how MPavilion was built, the working process with Studio Mumbai, the team’s visits to India and, of course, lore!
