MPavilion 3, realized in partnership with Studio Mumbai, serves as a thoughtful contrast to the innovative technological approach taken by AL_A in the previous year's design. This pavilion exemplifies the beauty of traditional craftsmanship, employing materials such as bamboo, rope, and karvi panels to create an inviting space that fosters warmth and communal connection.

Bijoy Jain, the founder of Studio Mumbai, emphasizes the pavilion's purpose, stating it as a place for Melbourne's residents to gather, converse, reflect, and engage with one another. His aim extended beyond merely constructing a new structure; it was about capturing the essence of the location. By selecting appropriate materials and honoring the surrounding environment, Jain worked closely with local artisans to integrate their knowledge and skills into the project.

As part of a global movement advocating for handmade architecture, MPavilion 3 incorporates a remarkable amount of resources, include 7 kilometers of bamboo, 50 tons of stone, and 26 kilometers of rope come together to form a 16.8-square meter summer pavilion. This approach highlights Jain’s ongoing interest in traditional methods and the importance of human connections. The foundation consists of bluestone from a quarry in Port Fairy, Victoria, grounding the pavilion in its local context. The imported bamboo poles are anchored with 5,000 wooden pins and bound together with rope, constructing a resilient yet graceful form.

A distinctive feature of the pavilion is the central opening in the roof, which symbolizes the relationship between the earth and the sky. Below this aperture lies a golden well, emphasizing the significance of water to the local community and its surroundings. Additionally, the pavilion is complemented by an intricate 'tazia' entrance tower, a gesture of welcome historically associated with Indian ceremonies, enhancing the inviting atmosphere for visitors.

MPavilion 3 not only showcases Bijoy Jain’s architectural vision but also reinforces cultural relevance, sustainability, and the enduring allure of traditional craftsmanship. It stands as a meaningful space that connects the people of Melbourne to each other and to their environment.
