	The first in a series of exhibitions and publications to introduce some of the extraordinary holdings in the Geoffrey Bawa Collection, this installation of decorative objects, will be on view in situ at Lunuganga. These fascinating objects provide a first glimpse of both the social and private uses of these beautiful things collected over a lifetime by an aesthete with unfettered eclectic tastes, thus building another cipher through which to view the legacy of Bawa. 
 In conjunction with this event, Ayesha Rahman of Lanka Decorative Arts will deliver a gallery talk on the Burgomeister Chair. Many fine examples of this chair lie within the Bawa Collection and attendees will closely observe these examples while exploring their history.

	This year's memorial lecture, falling on the 100th birth anniversary of the late Geoffrey Bawa, will be delivered by renowned Japanese Architect Kengo Kuma.&#38;nbsp;
Kengo Kuma was born in 1954. Before establishing Kengo Kuma &#38;amp; Associates in 1990, he received his Master’s Degree in Architecture from the University of Tokyo, where he is currently a Professor of Architecture. Having been inspired by Kenzo Tange’s Yoyogi National Gymnasium, built for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, Kengo Kuma decided to pursue architecture at a young age, and later entered the Architecture program at the University of Tokyo, where he studied under Hiroshi Hara and Yoshichika Uchida. During his Graduate studies, he made a research trip across the Sahara, exploring various villages and settlements, observing a unique power and beauty. After his time as a Visiting Scholar at Columbia University in New York, he established his office in Tokyo. Since then, Kengo Kuma &#38;amp; Associates has designed architectural works in over twenty countries and received prestigious awards, including the Architectural Institute of Japan Award, the Spirit of Nature Wood Architecture Award (Finland), and the International Stone Architecture Award (Italy), among others. Kengo Kuma &#38;amp; Associates aims to design architecture which naturally merges with its cultural and environmental surroundings, proposing gentle, human scaled buildings. The office is constantly in search of new materials to replace concrete and steel, and seeks a new approach for architecture in a post-industrial society.&#38;nbsp;

This exhibition of photography by Sebastian Posingis will present a selection of the lesser known works by Geoffrey Bawa. 
Posingis is the author of perhaps the most extensive collection of photographs recording Bawa’s work. These photographs, taken over a course of 5 years reveal Posingis’ extraordinary sensitivity to the poetry in Bawa’s buildings. Installed at the Paradise Road Gallery Café, formerly Geoffrey Bawa’s office, the work resonates with the rhythms, patinas and proportions that characterize much of Bawa’s architecture, and which are exemplified in the Gallery.&#38;nbsp;

Photograph © Luka AlagiyawannaThis exhibition is about the inimitable landscaped environments of Laki Senanayake, tantalizingly gestated years earlier in his drawings and sculptures. Through extensive research carried out by curator Max Moya, the exhibition presents an incisive and profound understanding of Laki’s work.
Mining drawings, sketches, publications and ephemera from a range of archives, including Laki’s own and the Geoffrey Bawa Collection, this exhibition looks at Laki’s oeuvre of landscapes as they are situated within his artistic practice. Positing that there is an ideal forest in Laki Senanayake’s mind that is the subject of most of his work, the exhibition tries to understand this fantasy space.
It seems only natural that there should be an exhibition, finally, dedicated to Laki’s landscapes. Not only has he created so many that deserve to be shown as the art form that they are, but also by interrogating his relationship with the natural world, we just may come to understand this singular man’s talents.

11 am &#124; Curatorial tour with Max MoyaPeruvian Architect Max Moya first met Laki through a Home Away exchange in 2018. The two became firm friends, and Max took on the task of researching Laki's landscape work, which has been a part of Laki's practice for over 30 years. Living at Diyabubula for over three months, and spending extensive time speaking with Laki, studying the drawings and visiting the projects, Max carried out the research that would ultimately take the form of the exhibition The Greedy Forest.

2 pm &#124; Tour of Number 05 with Amila de MelArchitect Amila de Mel worked with Geoffrey Bawa's architectural practice from 1991 - 1995. Amila will give a tour of the Ena de Silva house. In 1962 Ena de Silva and her husband Osmund commissioned Geoffrey Bawa to design their home in a modest plot in the heart of Colombo. Bawa's design negotiated the increasing urbanity of the site with an introspective design which was both radically modern and yet drew inspiration from traditional architectural tropes in Sri Lanka, like the central courtyard. The success of the design makes the house a pivotal project in Bawa's career. It was also the beginning of a deep friendship between Ena and her architect. In 2009 when Ena wished to sell the land the house was built on, Amila shepherded the Lunuganga Trust's project to work with a team of architects, archaeologists and engineers carefully disassembling the house and rebuilding it stone by stone at Lunuganga, where it stands today.&#38;nbsp;Limited spaces available; register with bawa100.manager@gmail.com 


3 pm &#124; Conversation with Ruk RakagannoAn informal discussion around trees and the possibilities of green coffins and green funerals with members of Ruk&#38;nbsp;Rakaganno&#38;nbsp;including Irangani Serasinghe. Ruk Rakaganno - The Tree Society of Sri Lanka - is a national NGO that was founded in 1975.

29 September, Sunday
10 am - 12 pm &#124; Ikebana - A Timeless Japanese Art 
with Jennifer Moragoda 
“Ikebana expresses the rich, natural beauty which accompanies seasonal change...It is about the love and  need to create beautiful forms.” 
—Teshigahara Sofu

Ikebana is a form of meditation that brings about self-discovery, opens your eyes to the cycles of nature and tunes you in to the universe at large. 

Sogetsu Ikebana practitioner Jennifer Moragoda will lead a small group in an hands-on introduction to the sublime Japanese art of flower arranging in the natural setting of Lunuganga. Founder of the Sogetsu School of Ikebana, Teshigahara Sofu, famously said  “Anyone, anywhere, anytime with any kind of material,” in describing his approach to this distinctly Japanese tradition. The workshop will include a focus on materials found in the gardens of Lunuganga, a deeply contemplative space where order and chaos exist in perfect harmony. Part of the Geoffrey Bawa Trust's programme for The Greedy Forest, an exhibition on Laki Senanayake's landscape work, the workshop will introduce a unique approach for appreciating and engaging with nature, much like Laki's own drawings of natural settings.
