The life & designs of Geoffrey Bawa
How do you create architecture that is one with nature? How do you create beauty in everyday life? How do you design spaces that ask a person to pause, and to breathe. The answer to that perhaps lies in knowing the life of Geoffrey Bawa. The father of tropical modernism Geoffrey, lived a very unusual life and perhaps that is why his designs are so captivating. So today in this video we are gonna look at how does one infuse their spaces with nature, and what kind of a life makes the man who creates such designs. It is a story of exploration, a story of finding one’s passion, and a story about the pursuit of beauty, today on this channel we are looking at the life and designs of Geoffrey Bawa.

Thank you so much ❤️
Geoffrey Bawa is one of those architects I've been fascinated with since I was young. His designs exhibit a captivating minimalism and seamless integration with nature, which I find truly remarkable.
I am visiting Sri Lanka later this year and was searching youtube and came across your beautiful tribute to the work of Geoffrey Bawa. I had not heard of him but will now be visiting at least two of the properties he designed. I love the way he integrates nature and the peace filled vibe of his work
Wow!!! His designs are breathtaking but the way you told his story is even more touching. Thank you!!!

I'm from sri lanka and today i visited Lunuganga. What a wonderful video. ❤️
We did a Geoffry Bawa architectural tour in 2018, his sense of scale, design, and materials is timeless, I thought we saw a lot of work, but looking at this presentation realized we missed a lot of his work too, Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work. Kudos!
Imesely sesetive,thoughtful & responsive creations.....Bawa showed that Architecture is not only a profession,its also a way of life.Very much Inspiring...My deepest respect.
What a beautiful tribute to such an amazing architect. Have visited his works but am happy to learn more about my hero. His works echoed sustainability and eco friendly practices when people were not aware of these concepts.Thanks for this wonderful compilation.
Hugely inspiring. Thank you. I found lots of ideas to help me with courtyard spaces for house designs. Bawa has both intimacy and grandness in his works.
Amazing work!! Great documentry! Thank you for this ✨
A legendary Tropical Modernism architect. RIP Geoffrey Bawa.
Geoffrey Bawa's grave is his ultimate design. Remarkably powerful, I found myself rather unexpectedly moved by it, to the point of tears.
Amazing video, from music to speech and your thoughts on it. Loved the video
Beautiful ! Gracias !!!!

Touching video on the life of Bawa who was so inspirational.

Beautiful account on the life of Geoffrey Bawa, undoubtedly the most celebrated Sri Lankan architect. However your emphasis on LGBT is an overkill without givng due understanding. While from a Western perspective it might be a plain right which I respect, you cannot necessarily look at it from the same lens when cultures are steeped in history spanning over 2 millenia.
i have visited kandalama hotel,university of ruhuna, sri lanka parliament and lunuganga resort. it was very beautiful and amazing especially kandalama hotel.some thought elephants wont come near to kandalama hotel after the construction.but suprisingly elephants came.proud of beauty of this amazing island which choosed many great characters like jefry bawa,ather c clerk to live their life.

He should win the prestigious Driehaus Prize (Although most people would suggest the Pritzker Prize but for me Driehaus suits him best as his works follow the traditional styles and the Pritzker is just too modern for him) I hope he will be awarded next year. He should receive it posthumously. He will be the second Asian to win the award after Thailand's Satrabandhu
Thanks for another great video on another great architect. Now I would like to request you again, can you make a video on works of Christopher Alexander... I have already requested many times but no response from you. Please let me know even if you are not interested in his work and you don't want to make a video on him. So i that i can rest in peace. Btw I am currently reading his book on Timeless Way of Building.

The market and the Fed consistently underestimate the sticky nature of inflation. The markets are still unsure if the Federal Reserve will continue to its plan to raise interest rates until inflation is under control, despite the fact that bond yields are rising while stock prices are falling. What is the greatest strategy to take advantage of the current bear market while I'm still deciding whether to sell my $401k worth of stocks?

I completely agree. I have been consistent with my profit regardless of the market conditions. I got into the market early in 2019 and the constant downtrends and losses discouraged me, so I sold off. I got back in December 2020 and this time with guidance from an investment adviser who was recommended by a popular economist on a popular forum. Long story short, it's been years now and l've gained over $850k following guidance from my investment advisor.
