Change is Everlasting: Inspiration from Geoffrey Bawa

Those interested in typological architecture and regional projects should note that many design styles, ideas, and functions of popular luxury resort hotels in tropical areas originate from a series of hotels designed by the Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa in the 20th century, for which he won the Aga Khan Award for Architecture in 2001.

This journey delves into Bawa's representative works from each period, offering a comprehensive interpretation of the architect's creative context. Staying at hotels designed by Bawa, such as Kandalama Hotel, Lighthouse Hotel, Blue Water Hotel, and Bentota Beach Hotel, provides the opportunity to engage with the buildings and spaces physically, thereby experiencing the architect's design techniques.
