Hardback. Condición: New. The Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa (1919-2003) fused sensitivity for local context with the technological discoveries and design principles of modernism in his work. Accordingly, Bawa often incorporated materials (local stone and timber) and layouts (high roofs, cross-ventilation, vast overhangs) specific to Sri Lanka's monsoon climate and storied architectural history - from the cave monasteries of the Anuradhapura period to the feudal Walauwa style of manor houses - into his modernist designs.Gathering essays by scholars and writers across a multitude of disciplines - including architecture, photography, geography, urban design and art history - this volume spotlights Bawa's exceptionally beautiful architectural drawings, delving into the central, multipronged role of the medium in his practice, from ideation to instruction to post-construction review. The anthology also explores the identity of post-independence Sri Lanka, which Bawa helped to shape - aesthetically and, less overtly, ideologically. Featuring over 200 lush drawings and photographs, many of which have never been published before, the book promises to engage both general and scholarly audiences with interests in architecture, drawing and archives. …

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Der sri-lankische Architekt Geoffrey Bawa (1919-2003) verband ein Bewusstsein für den lokalen Kontext mit den technologischen Errungenschaften und Gestaltungsprinzipien der Moderne. Dement sprechend bezog Bawa in seine modernistischen Entwürfe h.ufi g Materialien (lokaler Stein und Holz) und Charakteristika (hohe Dächer, Querlüftung, grosse Überhänge) ein, die für das Monsunklima und die geschichtsträchtige Architektur Sri Lankas typisch sind - von den Höhlenklöstern der Anuradhapura-Periode bis zum feudalen Walauwa-Stil der Herrenhäuser.Diese Publikation bringt Essays von Wissenschaftler:innen und Autor:innen aus einer Vielzahl von Disziplinen zusammen - darunter Architektur, Fotografie, Geografie, Stadtplanung und Kunstgeschichte. Der Fokus ist auf Bawas aussergewöhnlich schöne Architekturzeichnungen gerichtet, wobei die zentrale, vielschichtige Rolle dieses Mediums in der Praxis untersucht wird - von der Idee über die Anleitung bis hin zur überprüfung nach der Fertigstellung. Der Sammelband befasst sich auch mit der Identität Sri Lankas nach der Unabhängigkeit, die Bawa mitgestaltet hat - ästhetisch und, weniger offenkundig, ideologisch. Mit über 200 üppigen Zeichnungen und Fotografien, von denen viele noch nie zuvor veröffentlicht wurden, richtet sich das Buch sowohl an ein allgemeines als auch ein wissenschaftliches Publikum mit Interesse an Architektur, Zeichnung und Archiven.…
