Heritance Kandalama, Geoffrey Bawa, 1995
As I mentioned in a recent post on South Asian Architecture, Geoffrey Bawa's work has finally received the cinematic showcase it deserves, with two films dedicated to his buildings released in the past two years. The Sri Lankan architect was a formative figure in tropical modernism, blending buildings with nature, and vernacular traditions and materials with western modernism.
Neither BAWA’S GARDEN (2022), nor GENIUS OF THE PLACE (2023) are available to stream online yet, but this video also provides an interesting introduction to Bawa's life and work. Photo: Frederic Lagrange/Trunk via nytimes
