Geoffrey Bawa is one of those architects I've been fascinated with since I was young. His designs exhibit a captivating minimalism and seamless integration with nature, which I find truly remarkable.

I am visiting Sri Lanka later this year and was searching youtube and came across your beautiful tribute to the work of Geoffrey Bawa. I had not heard of him but will now be visiting at least two of the properties he designed. I love the way he integrates nature and the peace filled vibe of his work

[jnac]

Wow!!! His designs are breathtaking but the way you told his story is even more touching. Thank you!!!

We did a Geoffry Bawa architectural tour in 2018, his sense of scale, design, and materials is timeless, I thought we saw a lot of work, but looking at this presentation realized we missed a lot of his work too, Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work. Kudos!

What a beautiful tribute to such an amazing architect. Have visited his works but am happy to learn more about my hero. His works echoed sustainability and eco friendly practices when people were not aware of these concepts.Thanks for this wonderful compilation.

Hugely inspiring. Thank you. I found lots of ideas to help me with courtyard spaces for house designs. Bawa has both intimacy and grandness in his works.

Geoffrey Bawa's grave is his ultimate design. Remarkably powerful, I found myself rather unexpectedly moved by it, to the point of tears.

a book on his a clip or two only adds to my understanding his design concept of Tropical Modernism w/c is my other Style...Luv it!...RIP GB.
