Reports, Resorts and Recollections Geoffrey Bawa Trust

'Conversations Drawing from the Geoffrey Bawa Archives' is a virtual series of discussions between scholars who have engaged with the Bawa Archives and contributed to the upcoming publication 'It is Essential to be There: Drawing from the Geoffrey Bawa Archives'. The publication will accompany the forthcoming exhibition of the same name. Stay tuned for more information on both the book and exhibition.

In this conversation 'Resorts, Reports and Recollections', Shirley Surya and Meghal Perera use the archives to look at the Batujimbar Development in Bali and the Galle Face Green specifically, and they are joined by Channa Daswatte who shared first-hand anecdotes to discuss the role of the drawings in Bawa’s practice.
