Geoffrey Bawa Works in Colombo
When the late Geoffrey Manning Bawa entered the world of architecture, he made his mark with every design he produced. Exploring modernism and its cultural implications, he created unique designs that were recognized by architects across the world. The result of these works made him the principal force behind the global concept of “tropical modernism”.
As Sri Lanka’s most influential architect, Sir Bawa built houses, hotels, schools, offices and government buildings including the Sri Lankan Parliament Building.
In this day tour, we will show you around some of his brilliant works (in Colombo and along the southern coast) that are still intact about 15 years after his passing.
