Description

Bawa: The Sri Lanka Gardens

The work of architect Geoffrey Bawa is renowned for its unique fusion of vernacular style and modern construction, set against the lush tropical landscape of his native Sri Lanka. This book explores his lesser-known gardens, including his famous estate at Lunuganga and the lesser-known Brief, created by his brother Bevis.

Through rich photo essays and revealing descriptions, David Robson takes the reader on a tour around these exquisite gardens, showcasing their aesthetic considerations and architectural mastery. The result is a fascinating story of two brothers and their distinctive individual differences, set against the cultural background that inspired Bawa's sensitive treatment of architecture.
