This Is The Place, India
Giles Miller Studio has created This Is The Place, its largest architectural artwork to date, and wrapped it around the corner of a 50 storey skyscraper in Janata Nagar, Mumbai. The artwork stands at over 42m tall, and marks the corner of a new residential development in South Mumbai with an engineered textural display which serves as a place-maker as well as a bold architectural intervention.
The piece itself turns the corner of the 210m tall building into a 3-dimensional chevron which points downwards, acclaiming the location of the building to distant viewers across the city of Mumbai.
The aesthetic is generated by giant angled ‘combs’ which glide around the radiused corner of the structure and in doing so invert their tone by way of the artist’s distinctive use of material composition.
Giles Miller had previously worked with clients Shapoorji Pallonji and the Dilip Thacker Group, creating a one-off walnut bar front for the penthouse at the famous Imperial Twin Tower development just adjacent to the new building.
Their collaboration continues with this latest project, which was designed by Giles and his team in London, but fabricated locally in Mumbai by specialist facade engineers.
