Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa passed away last Tuesday, the 27th of May, at the age of 83. Paralyzed and unable to speak after a stroke in 1998, Bawa remained active with his design practice until his final days. Spanning five decades, his career was marked by a sensitive approach to the environment and a unique balance between the modern and the vernacular.
