#HowToLiveIt according to architect Geoffrey Bawa, the father of tropical modernism. "His influence quietly spread around the world such that any sensitively designed hotel you stay in today probably owes a debt to Bawa," writes architect William Smalley, who journeyed to Sri Lanka to stay at Lunuganga, Bawa's country house, now a hotel of just nine rooms and suites. Bawa "showed that it was possible for architecture to respond to local specifics of climate and culture while also being part of a bigger movement of optimism".
