When we look at some of the pioneers who have influenced architecture in South Asia, Sri Lankan legend Geoffrey Bawa's name is always held in high esteem.

Now, a talk titled Beyond Bawa: Tropical Modernism in Architecture Today, will bring four speakers together to discuss the 40-year long legacy of the icon who is often referred to as The Grand Old Man of Sri Lankan Architecture. The intent of this session is to examine his influence on the country's architecture and the legacy that he left behind from a South Asian point of view.
