This book answers some important questions about Geoffrey Bawa, Sri
Lanka's pre-eminent architect, and his legacy. A sizeable
introductionto Bawa's world, life, education and work is reviewed
by eminent Bawa scholar, David Robson. This precedes a site-by-site
tour of 45 of his buildings scatterd throughout Sri Lanka, Many are
considered 'pilgrimage sites' by up-and-coming architects,
designers and lay people interested in his extraordinary and
enduring talent. Insightful texts, contemporary and archive
photographs and a plethora of drawings illustrate the individual
buildings that range from private dwellings to public buildings,
schools and hotels. Each is representative of Bawa's pioneering
work on tropical modernism. The book ends with a brief section on
buildings that have been transformed, lost or are at risk for one
reason or another
