Geoffrey Bawa

Bawa’s work in Sri Lanka is characterised by a sensitivity to site and context. He produced “sustainable architecture” long before the term was devised. His designs broke down the barriers between inside and outside and reduced buildings to a series of spaces separated by courtyards and gardens.

Muzharul Islam

Tini (The Architect) is a documentary film about Bengali architect and activist Muzharul Islam. He was a very important person in modern architecture in Bangladesh. Among the others he brought Louis I. Kahn to Dhaka to design the national parliament building.

If the work is given to a master architect it would work as a continuous source of reference for the future generation of architects.
