Beyond Bawa: Modern Masterworks of Monsoon Asia - Tapa blanda

This brilliantly illustrated volume looks back at the life and career of Geoffrey Bawa (1919–2003), one of the most influential architects in southeast Asia in the last decades of the 20th century and the principal force behind what is today known globally as ‘tropical modernism’, and at the continuing legacy of Bawa’s influence through the work of contemporary architects working across southeast Asia.
