Description
This brilliantly illustrated volume looks back at the life and career of Geoffrey Bawa (1919-2003), one of the most influential architects in southeast Asia in the last decades of the 20th century and the principal force behind what is today known globally as `tropical modernism', and at the continuing legacy of Bawa's influence through the work of contemporary architects working across southeast Asia.
