One of the most influential names in Sri Lankan architecture,Geoffrey Bawa is represented here through images of his houses,hotels, public buildings, and the famous complex at Lunuganga
Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa was among the most influential figures in South Asia in the latter half of the twentieth century. In houses, hotels, public buildings, and perhaps his greatest achievement, his residential complex in Lunuganga, Bawa achieved the harmonious and pleasurable fusion of local building traditions with modern forms. His legacy lives on in current architectural practice and remains an important source of inspiration for generations of architects. Bawa was the principal force behind what is today known globally as “tropical modernism,” and examples of his ideas can be found in Sri Lanka, Singapore, and Bali, and in resorts and residences throughout wider Asia.The book first presents a useful overview of Bawa and his contribution to contemporary architecture. The main section highlights the achievements of twenty-four contemporary architects, ranging from well-known practitioners such as Australian Kerry Hill to local talents such as Sri Lankan Anjalendran. The works they have created over the past ten years reveal the long-lasting significance of Bawa’s approach to building and the landscape. 600 illustrations, 377 in color 作为斯里兰卡建筑界最有影响力的人物之一,杰弗里 · 巴瓦在这里通过他的房屋,酒店,公共建筑的图片,以及著名的卢卢甘加斯里,斯里兰卡建筑师杰弗里 · 巴瓦,是20世纪下半叶南亚最有影响力的人物之一。在住宅,酒店,公共建筑,也许是他最大的成就,他在卢努干加的住宅综合体,bawa 实现了当地建筑传统与现代形式的和谐与愉悦的融合。他的遗产在当今的建筑实践中继续存在,并且仍然是一代又一代建筑师灵感的重要来源。Bawa 是当今全球所知的“热带现代主义”背后的主要力量,他的思想的例子可以在斯里兰卡、新加坡和巴厘岛,以及在整个亚洲的度假村和住宅中找到。这本书首先介绍了 bawa 和他对当代建筑的贡献。主要部分介绍了二十四位当代建筑师的成就,包括著名的建筑师,如澳大利亚的 kerry hill,以及斯里兰卡的 anjalendran。他们在过去十年创作的作品,揭示了 bawa 的建筑方法和风景的持久意义。600幅插图,377幅彩色插图 基本信息 出版社 : Thames & Hudson; 第 Reprint 版 (2014年12月9日) 语言 : 英语 平装 : 264页 ISBN-10 : 050029156X ISBN-13 : 978-0500291566 商品重量 : 1.52 kilograms 尺寸 : 26.16 x 2.79 x 28.19 cm
