Das eigene Wohnhaus in Lunuganga, 60 Kilometer südlich von Colombo, war sein Gesellenstück, das 5-Sterne-Hotel in Kandalama eines der Meisterwerke. Der Name Geoffrey Bawa ist in Europa immer noch ein Insidertipp, im asiatischen Raum gehört er längst zu den gefeierten Kultfiguren der Architektur. Wer sich auf Reisen durch Sri Lanka begibt, kommt an seinem gern kopierten Baustil nicht vorbei. Bawa entwickelte das, was man heute als »Tropische Moderne« bezeichnet: minimalistisch reduzierte Betonstrukturen, die auf traditionelles Handwerk und Naturmaterialien stoßen und der Natur größtmöglichen Freiraum gewähren. Was heute zum globalen Trend avanciert ist, praktizierte Bawa bereits seit den 1950er-Jahren: grüne Architektur, naturnahes Bauen. Ein wichtigste Bauprinzip liegt in den faszinierenden Blickachsen. Eindrücklich dokumentiert die Fotografin Giovanna Silva Bawas Privathäuser, Schulen und Hotels, die ihr auf dem Weg durch Sri Lankas Dschungel begegnet sind.

Der sriklankische Architekt und Anwalt GEOFFREY BAWA (1919–2003) studierte Jura, dann Architektur in England. Seit den späten 1950er-Jahren entwickelt sich sein Werk, mit dem er eine lebendige Architekturszene in seiner Heimat begründete. 2001 erhielt er den Aga Khan Chairsman’s Award for Architecture für sein Lebenswerk. 

Die Fotografin GIOVANNA SILVA lebt in Mailand. Als Bildredakteurin arbeitete sie für Domus und Abitare. Teilnahme an der 14. Architekturbiennale in Venedig mit ihrem Projekt Nightswimming. Diskotheken in Italien von 1960 bis heute. Sie ist Gründerin und Vorsitzende von Humboldt Books.

Accurate
Color: Stainless Steel, Size: Medium Size
Just place it on the counter, press the power button, and you’re ready to weigh ingredients instantly. The digital display is clear and easy to read, and switching between grams and ounces is fast and intuitive which makes it great whether I’m following recipes or tracking portions for meal planning. The weighing platform is spacious enough to fit bowls, plates, or containers and the scale is impressively accurate even with small amounts like spices or coffee grounds. I’ve used it for baking precise measurements, prepping meal portions for a keto plan, and tracking food for weight‑loss goals, and it performs consistently every time. It also has useful features like a tare function which lets you subtract the weight of your container so you only measure what matters. The scale feels sturdy and well‑made yet still lightweight and easy to store when not in use. Overall this Etekcity food scale is a fantastic value and a must‑have for anyone serious about cooking, baking, or healthy living. I’ll definitely be using it for years and would buy it again without hesitation.

Great Kitchen Purchase
Color: Stainless Steel, Size: Medium Size, Color: Stainless Steel, Size: Medium Size
I didn’t realize how much I needed a kitchen scale until I got this. It’s really accurate and makes cooking (especially baking) so much easier and more consistent. The tare function is a game changer—you can zero out the bowl and keep adding ingredients without extra measuring cups. It’s also easy to switch between grams and ounces, which is great for following different recipes. Most digital scales measure very precisely, often down to about 1 gram, which makes a big difference for accuracy. It’s compact, easy to clean, and doesn’t take up much space on the counter. Overall, such a simple tool but makes a big difference—definitely worth having in any kitchen.

Great little scale!
Color: Stainless Steel, Size: Medium Size
Love this little guy! It's small I use it for all my meals. When in a rush I can just toss it in my lunch box and use it at work. Super convenient. It sits on my counter no bigger than a side plate. Worth the money!

Food scale
Color: Stainless Steel, Size: Medium Size, Color: Stainless Steel, Size: Medium Size
This product is worth the price. The only thing is that it kind of doesn’t work sometimes when you are trying to switch the unit and you might have to double click (as shown in my video) other than that the product works perfect for measuring my food and even my liquids. It’s the perfect size not too big and bulky but it also isn’t that small. As you can see in my picture it’s small enough to fit in my drawer (I don’t like to leave it on my counter) it’s a tiny bit bigger than an Alexa.i also like that the price isn’t to high . I would definitely recommend this product! It’s a sturdy product it doesn’t move when you’re putting any items on it. It’s easy to clean off as well. Another thing is it takes batteries ( it takes AAA batteries, just 2 of them) and I liked how it came with batteries inside of them already .
