Geoffrey Bawa / Yukio Futagawa ・33rd Lane (Bawa's Residence) ・Lunuganga (Bawa's Garden) ※Complete Works of Modern Houses Geoffrey Manning Bawa (July 23, 1919 – May 27, 2003) was an architect from Colombo, Sri Lanka. He was a leading architect in Sri Lanka and a pioneer of tropical modernism [1][2][3], designing Asian resort hotels and the like. "It is no exaggeration to say that the architect Geoffrey Bawa changed the face of Southeast Asia. Yet it was so subtle that it seems natural today. In other words, Bawa tailored modern buildings to suit this environment. Even if it doesn't seem groundbreaking, it's something no one in this region has ever done." Jonathan Green
