10-Day Sri Lanka Bawa National Treasure Architectural Ecology Tour - Led by Architecture Expert Wang Bai-Jen
In the works of national treasure architect Geoffrey Bawa, experience the perfect symbiosis of Sri Lankan architecture and nature. In this 10-day in-depth journey to Sri Lanka led by master architect Wang Boren, explore the origins of eco-architecture and the unique local cultural landscape.
🌟 Architecture × Ecology × Sri Lankan Charm
From Bawa's classic architecture to Sri Lanka's precious natural landscapes, every step is full of surprises. Heritance Kandalama Hotel is hidden in the jungle, with a cave-like sloping entrance and an infinity pool echoing the imagery of Sigiriya Rock. Lunuganga Garden is the fruit of Bawa's forty years of dedication, where ponds, pavilions, and courtyards intertwine to create an idyllic poem. In every corner, you can feel Bawa's respect for the land, culture, and nature.
✨ Wang Boren: Guiding you to see the soul of architecture
Wang Boren is not just an architectural master; he is skilled at transforming professional knowledge into vivid stories, allowing travelers to see the life and cultural context behind the architecture. Following him, you will discover that Bawa's designs are not isolated buildings but living works that dialogue with the environment: light and shadow, materials, and spatial flow all tell the story of Sri Lanka.
