Destacados

When the late Geoffrey Manning Bawa entered the world of architecture, he made his mark with every design he produced. Exploring modernism and its cultural implications, he created unique designs that were recognized by architects across the world. The result of these works made him the principal force behind the global concept of “tropical modernism”. As Sri Lanka’s most influential architect, Sir Bawa built houses, hotels, schools, offices and government buildings including the Sri Lankan Parliament Building. In this day tour, we will show you around some of his brilliant works (in Colombo and along the southern coast) that are still intact about 15 years after his passing.

  1. A beautiful garden retreat in Bentota – a piece of work that Bawa cherished throughout his life and continued to develop for about 50 years. It was one of his personal projects which turned in to a boutique hotel and is now a dream fantasy for many to have the opportunity to stay in one of the lovely suites here.

  2. In 1979 Geoffrey Bawa was summoned by the president JR Jayawardana who commissioned him to design a new Parliment on the spot. With the proposed location at Kotte, Bawa's idea was to have the new parliment sit an island amidst an artificial lake.

  3. Once upon a time, the office of Geoffrey Bawa, is now transformed into one of the leading restaurants in Colombo. The symbols of his brand remain strong here – open pavilions, courtyards with pillars, ponds and walkways. In addition to providing a unique dining experience, The Gallery Café is also an art gallery where the creative talents of young artists are exhibited.

About Colombo

Colombo, la mayor ciudad y capital comercial de Sri Lanka, reúne edificios coloniales, templos budistas, mercados animados y un paseo marítimo.

Galle Face Green, un largo césped junto al mar, se llena de familias, aficionados a las cometas y puestos de comida callejera cuando el sol se pone sobre el océano Índico. Cerca, el distrito del Fuerte conserva edificios coloniales como el antiguo Hospital Holandés, restaurado como tiendas y restaurantes, y la mezquita Jami Ul-Alfar, a rayas rojas y blancas, se alza sobre las abarrotadas calles comerciales de Pettah.

Top-ranked sights in Colombo: Gangaramaya Temple, Galle Face Green, Independence Square.
