Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa was among the most influential figures in south Asia in the latter half of the 20th century. This book considers his continuing influence through the work of contemporary architects working in the region.
The book has two sections. The first, an overview of Bawa and his contribution to contemporary architecture, presents material that has come to light since the publication of his 2002 monograph. The main section is the presentation of twenty-four contemporary architects, ranging from well-known practitioners such as Australian Kerry Hill to local talents such as Anjalendran, and works they have created over the past ten years that reveal the long-lasting significance of Bawa's unique approach to building and the landscape. Contains 600 illustrations, 377 in colour.
