BAWA. Geoffrey Bawa - the complete works

2004 edition. Large hard cover with dust cover. 278 pages. Very good condition. Tightly bound. Over 1kg.

Geoffrey Bawa died in May, so it is fitting as well as poignant that Thames and Hudson have published this new and lavish edition on his life's work, written by the indefatigable David Robson. It will undoubtedly prove to be the definitive publication. Interest in Bawa's work is clearly very high; the previous monograph by Brian Brace Taylor published in 1986, was revised and republished in 1995 by the same publisher. Robson's new work is more comprehensive and includes the very latest projects. It also sets the scene both in terms of Bawa's unusual career and life story and of the awesome legacy of his home, the fascinating island of Sri Lanka.
