Contemporaries: Considering architectural archives of Minnette de Silva, Valentine Gunasekera, Justin Samarasekera and Panini Tennekoon

  • Hector Kobbekaduwa Agrarian Research and Training Institute 114 Wijerama Mawatha Colombo, WP, 00700 Sri Lanka (map)

In this discussion, we widen the focus of Sri Lankan architecture of the last century to some of Geoffrey Bawa’s very important contemporaries, including Minnette de Silva, Valentine Gunasekera, Panini Tennekoon and Justin Samarasekera, to understand the different formats each of their archives might take. We welcome panelists Anooradha Iyer Siddiqi, Nela de Soysa, Sumedha Kelegama and Milinda Pathiraja to the discussion, which will be moderated by Geoffrey Bawa Trust Chairperson Channa Daswatte and Geoffrey Bawa Trust Curator of Art and Archival Collections Shayari de Silva.
