Covering the entire career of the renowned Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa, this comprehensive monograph offers original perspectives on one of the most influential twentieth-century architects in South Asia, whilst featuring new photography of built projects and never-before published material from the architect's own archive. Accompanying the Vitra Design Museum’s retrospective Geoffrey Bawa: Architecture for the Senses, co-produced with the M+ and the Geoffrey Bawa Trust, this monograph contextualises Geoffrey Bawa’s practice within post-colonial Sri Lanka, and situates his work in relation to contemporary discourses around collaboration, social enterprise and ecology.The book features scholarly essays, a never-before published text by Geoffrey Bawa, fully illustrated descriptions of all exhibited projects, comprehensive listings of his entire oeuvre, and interviews with leading contemporary architects inspired by his work. Richly illustrated with archival photography, many taken by Geoffrey Bawa himself, and newly commissioned photography by Iwan Baan, the book is a visual treat for anyone interested in twentieth-century architecture and design.
