264 p. ill. (some col.) ; plans ; 29 cm. "Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa was among the most influential figures in south Asia in the latter half of the 20th century. This book considers his continuing influence through the work of contemporary architects working in the region." "The book has two sections. The first, an overview of Bawa and his contribution to contemporary architecture, presents material that has come to light since the publication of his 2002 monograph. The main section is the presentation of twenty four contemporary architects, ranging from well known practitioners such as Australian Kerry Hill to local talents such as Anjalendran, and works they have created over the past ten years that reveal the long lasting significance of Bawa's unique approach to building and the landscape. Contains 600 illustrations, 377 in colour."-- Contents: 13 Introduction -- Part I A Life In Architecture -- 25 1 Two Gardens -- 32 2 Towards Architecture -- 38 3 Brief Encounters -- 49 4 A way of Drawing -- 61 5 Courtyards and Verandahs -- 69 6 An Architect to the State -- 73 7 Bali Interlude -- 85 8 Two Books and an Exhibition -- 94 9 More Books -- 102 10 The Last Decade -- 108 Beyond Bawa -- Part II A Sri Lanka Legacy -- 121 11 Some Architects of Sri Lanka -- 176 12 Some Style-makers of Sri Lanka -- Part III Over The Ocean: Bali, Singapore -- 197 13 Some Architects of the Archipelago -- 258 14 Bawa’s Legacy -- 260 Notes -- 261 Bibliography -- 262 Glossary -- 263 Index -- David Robson.
