His work is organized in chronological order and the reader can clearly see an evolution of his work from heavy colonial influence to critical regionalism.The sense of serenity his environment created quietly overthrown Western superiority in architecture of post-colonial Sri Lanka, and furthermore, it’s taking over the design world through tropical storm.Below are images I took of the book for my Amazon review, please see link below and let me know if they are helpful to you (by pressing yes or no button), thank you for your comment and support.

EARLY WORK IN TROPICAL MODERNISMStrathspey Estate Bungalow, Upcott, 1959Bishop’s College Classrooms, Colombo, 1959Bawa’s early work included office buildings, factories and schools and was influenced by the ‘Tropical Modernism’ of Fry and Drew and ultimately by the work of le Corbusier. Typical of projects from this period are the remote Strathspey Tea Estate Bungalow at the foot of Adam’s Peak, and the classroom extension for Bishop’s College in Colombo.Carmen Gunesekera House, Colombo, 1958Upali Wijewardene House, Colombo, 1959For more than a century Sri Lankan domestic architecture had been heavily influence by British taste.The typical British ‘bungalow’ was a pavilion on one or two floors, cellular in plan, extrovert in concept and located at the centre of a large garden plot. However the population of Sri Lanka was exploding and Colombo was rapidly evolving from leafy Garden City into modern Asian metropolis.

As land prices rose so plot sizes shrank and the British bungalow could no longer guarantee privacy or provide adequate ventilation.The A.S.H de Silva House, 1959Tropical Modernism favoured white abstract forms and horizontal rooflines, though Bawa was soon forced to admit that overhanging pitched roofs offered the best protection against tropical sun and rain. His first essay in ‘roof architecture’ was a house for a doctor called A.S.H. De Silva which was commissioned for a steeply sloping site in Galle.

Here the deconstructed elements were reassembled on an exploding pinwheel plan and held together by a single raking roof plane.THE EARLY YEARS - CONTEMPORARY VENACULARENA DE SILVA HOUSE, 1960Bawa was invited by Mrs.Ena de Silva to build ahouse on a fairly small plot in the Colombo suburb of Cinnamon Gardens. She demanded a house which would be modern and open, but which would embody features of the traditional manor houses in which she had lived as a child. Bawa’s solution employed the same elements as the Galle house, but he now carved them out of a solid form.

The result is a totally introspective house which emphasises the voids as much as the solids and which allows a free flow of space from inside to outside.THE POLONTALAWA ESTATE BUNGALOW, NIKARAWETIYA, 1963In 1963 the director of a Swiss plantation company approached Bawa to design a new manager’s bungalow for a remote coconut estate at Polontalawa on the banks of the DeduruOya. Bawa and Plesner invited the client to accompany them on a site visit and persuaded him that the house should be inserted into an area of huge boulders and be developed as a cluster of pavilions with roofs spanning from rock to rock.BUILDINGS FOR THE CATHOLIC CHURCHConvent Chapel, Bandarawela, 1961St. Bridget’s Montessori School, Colombo, 1963Although not himself a Catholic, Bawa built a remarkable series of low-cost projects for the Catholic Church.

The first of these, a Chapel for the Nuns of the Good Shepherd Convent in Bandarawela (1961), was the result of collaboration with Ulrik Plesner. The chapel sits on a ridge above the town and consists of a solid hulk of rubble masonry terminating in a square tower which acts as the skylight for the altar. The north side of the nave is fully glazed, its window frames forming the three crucifixes of the Calvary. The altar crucifix was designed by Laki Senanayake and the terra cotta Stations of the Cross by Barbara Sansoni.THE YAHAPATH ENDERA FARM SCHOOL, HANWELLA, 1965The Yahapath Endera Farm School was built for orphan girls on a rubber and coconut estate about 30 kilometers to the east of Colombo. Bawa placed the various buildings on a formal orthogonal grid but they were allowed to ‘run with the contours’ in section. Individual buildings were positioned carefully to define open spaces and axes and to regulate the vistas between them.
