Geoffrey Bawa focus for top Canadian journalist on Sri Lanka culture tour | Pledge Holidays Travel Blog

GEOFFREY BAWA FOCUS FOR TOP CANADIAN JOURNALIST ON SRI LANKA CULTURE TOUR Sri Lanka has close and long-standing ties with Canada, and a recent trip by Toronto Globe and Mail journalist Dakshana Bascaramurty was a chance to focus on our historic architecture and contemporary design. She writes: “When it comes to tourist draws, Sri Lanka is known best for its beaches: those lined with palm trees in Mirissa, the whale-watching ones in Kalpitiya, the kind that draw surfers in Arugam Bay. “But I didn’t so much as dip a toe in the Indian Ocean on this journey. I had come here to explore how … this tiny island country has quietly established itself as a design destination.” And it was famed Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa, internationally hailed as the ‘father of tropical modernism’, and his celebrated house in Bentota, that really drew Dakshana’s attention.
