Geoffrey Bawa: Architecture for the Senses - COMING SOON

Accompanying the Vitra Design Museum's retrospective exhibition, coproduced with the M+ and the Geoffrey Bawa Trust, Architecture for the Senses contextualizes Geoffrey Bawa's practice within postcolonial Sri Lanka, and situates his work in relation to contemporary discourses around collaboration, social enterprise and ecology. The book features scholarly essays, a never-before-published text by Bawa, fully illustrated descriptions of all exhibited projects, comprehensive listings of his entire oeuvre and interviews with leading contemporary architects inspired by his work. Richly illustrated with archival photographs, many taken by Bawa himself, and newly commissioned images of Bawa's buildings in Sri Lanka from Iwan Baan, the book is a visual treat for anyone interested in 20th-century architecture and design.
