Else a bright, clean copy. Few architects of the twentieth century have achieved the harmonious and pleasurable fusion of local building traditions with modern forms and sensibility as has Geoffrey Bawa. The man and the buildings that he has created over the last forty years have become legendary in the region and influential around the world. Born in Sri Lanka in 1919 and educated at Cambridge University, Bawa initially worked in a Colombo law firm before returning to London's progressive Architecture Association as a student in the 1950s. His early works were houses that artfully married vernacular styles and sensitively responded to climate and site with a modern architectural vocabulary. It wasn't long before his talents were applied on a larger scale, to a number of carefully designed hotels, the Sri Lanka parliament, and a wide variety of schools, office buildings, and other public works. His oeuvre is symbolized by the evolution of his own residences, in Colombo and in Lunuganga, which eloquently reflect Bawa's career and personality.This ambitious publication is a comprehensive documentation and appreciation of the man and his work. Introductory chapters present Bawa's early life and the influence of local architecture and his education, while the heart of the book is a portfolio of his most important works. The reference section includes a complete chronology.Architecture trends come and go, often fueled by a preoccupation with technology, but master architects whose works transgress boundaries, history, and styles always have something to teach. In the work of Geoffrey Bawa there are lessons for all of us.…

4°, 247 S., zahlr. Abb., Kart, Tadell. - Der sri-lankische Architekt Geoffrey Bawa (1919-2003) verband ein Bewusstsein für den lokalen Kontext mit den technologischen Errungenschaften und Gestaltungsprinzipien der Moderne. Dement sprechend bezog Bawa in seine modernistischen Entwürfe h.ufi g Materialien (lokaler Stein und Holz) und Charakteristika (hohe Dächer, Querlüftung, grosse Überhänge) ein, die für das Monsunklima und die geschichtsträchtige Architektur Sri Lankas typisch sind - von den Höhlenklöstern der Anuradhapura-Periode bis zum feudalen Walauwa-Stil der Herrenhäuser.Diese Publikation bringt Essays von Wissenschaftler:innen und Autor:innen aus einer Vielzahl von Disziplinen zusammen - darunter Architektur, Fotografie, Geografie, Stadtplanung und Kunstgeschichte. Der Fokus ist auf Bawas aussergewöhnlich schöne Architekturzeichnungen gerichtet, wobei die zentrale, vielschichtige Rolle dieses Mediums in der Praxis untersucht wird - von der Idee über die Anleitung bis hin zur überprüfung nach der Fertigstellung. Der Sammelband befasst sich auch mit der Identität Sri Lankas nach der Unabhängigkeit, die Bawa mitgestaltet hat - ästhetisch und, weniger offenkundig, ideologisch. Mit über 200 üppigen Zeichnungen und Fotografien, von denen viele noch nie zuvor veröffentlicht wurden, richtet sich das Buch sowohl an ein allgemeines als auch ein wissenschaftliches Publikum mit Interesse an Architektur, Zeichnung und Archiven.Verlegerdienst München, Gutenbergstraße 1, 82205 Gilching 248 pp. Englisch. 1100 gr.
