Das eigene Wohnhaus in Lunuganga, 60 Kilometer südlich von Colombo, war sein Gesellenstück, das 5-Sterne-Hotel in Kandalama eines der Meisterwerke. Der Name Geoffrey Bawa ist in Europa immer noch ein Insidertipp, im asiatischen Raum gehört er längst zu den gefeierten Kultfiguren der Architektur. Wer sich auf Reisen durch Sri Lanka begibt, kommt an seinem gern kopierten Baustil nicht vorbei. Bawa entwickelte das, was man heute als »Tropische Moderne« bezeichnet: minimalistisch reduzierte Betonstrukturen, die auf traditionelles Handwerk und Naturmaterialien stoßen und der Natur größtmöglichen Freiraum gewähren. Was heute zum globalen Trend avanciert ist, praktizierte Bawa bereits seit den 1950er-Jahren: grüne Architektur, naturnahes Bauen. Ein wichtigste Bauprinzip liegt in den faszinierenden Blickachsen. Eindrücklich dokumentiert die Fotografin Giovanna Silva Bawas Privathäuser, Schulen und Hotels, die ihr auf dem Weg durch Sri Lankas Dschungel begegnet sind.

Der sriklankische Architekt und Anwalt GEOFFREY BAWA (1919–2003) studierte Jura, dann Architektur in England. Seit den späten 1950er-Jahren entwickelt sich sein Werk, mit dem er eine lebendige Architekturszene in seiner Heimat begründete. 2001 erhielt er den Aga Khan Chairsman’s Award for Architecture für sein Lebenswerk. 

Die Fotografin GIOVANNA SILVA lebt in Mailand. Als Bildredakteurin arbeitete sie für Domus und Abitare. Teilnahme an der 14. Architekturbiennale in Venedig mit ihrem Projekt Nightswimming. Diskotheken in Italien von 1960 bis heute. Sie ist Gründerin und Vorsitzende von Humboldt Books.

Nice cotton summer shorts with a touch of linen
Color: Coffee, Size: Medium, Color: Coffee, Size: Medium
These are a nice addition to my summer short wardrobe. They add a different look and texture than most of my shorts that are cotton. The addition of linen adds a nice texture to them and you can tell they are visibly unique. I ordered these in a medium and I think they are true to size. The have an elastic top instead of a button/zipper. I'm o.k. with it and they are nice to just throw on. I'm not a fan of the string around the waist. My first picture has it hanging down and I quickly removed it...not needed with the elastic band holding up the shorts. I guess it could be a fashion statement if you wanted it to be. The shorts are very light weight and I can see using them in the hotter months that are approaching. Price point is great!

Comfortable shorts!
Color: Black, Size: Large
I ordered these because I wanted some lightweight comfortable shorts for the summer that were now gym shorts. These are very comfortable shorts. Lightweight cotton material that is not stretchy and it breathes well. The size fits exactly as expected according to the measurements. They also have an elastic waistband with drawstring, but also have a button and zipper, which I found odd, but don’t hate. These shorts have two big pockets in the front, large enough for keys and a cell phone. Deep enough to put your entire hand in. The single back pocket is perfect sized for a wallet, and it has a button that secures the pocket, so no losing the wallet in the movie theater or restaurant. The color is a true black, which I’m sure will fade in the future after many washes, but for now, it is dark and black, not like some that look more navy blue than black. The stitching is also done well. These are probably my new favorite pair of shorts that are comfy able enough to wear around the house when just lounging, but also nice enough to wear out to dinner. Well worth the price, will probably buy another pair in a different color soon.

Top-tier quality and fit
Color: Khaki, Size: Large
I'm really impressed with the fit of this shirt it’s true to size and has a great slim-fit cut. The embroidery and fabric quality are excellent, making it look much more expensive than it is. Perfect for any occasion where you want to stand out.
