Anjalendran: Architect Of Sri Lanka: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Anjalendran: Architect Of Sri Lanka" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This beautifully illustrated book showcases the works of one of Sri Landas most influential architects-Anjaledran, an ethnic Tamil and visionary artist. During the past 25 years of civil war in Sri Lanka, Anjalendran has stayed on, creating architecture that has attracted interest across the entire Indian subcontinent. In Anjalendran, David Robson explores this unique man and his uncommon vision. Anjalendrans buildings have a simple directness and although totally modern in spirit, they acknowledge the rich design traditions of Sri Lanka. Whether working with ample budgets or at rock bottom cost (like his SOS Childrens Village orphanages), his work focuses not only on creative buildings, but, :a la Frank Lloyd Wright, :also their landscaping, furniture and decoration. Just as interesting as the architecture is the process by which Anjalendran works, :from home, never employing more than four student assistants, with no office, no secretary, no car and no cell phone. He operates without a bank account and has never signed a contract with either a client or a builder. With stunning color photographs, plan details and behind-the-scenes insights, Anjalendran sheds light on the works of this exceptional man.

Acknowledgements

This book is dedicated to my wife Ursula who has tolerated my long absences during its gestation and has acted as its critic and editor. I would like to acknowledge the help and enthusiastic support that I have received from Anjalendran who has welcomed me for long periods as a guest in his house while throwing open his archives and sharing his memories: it has been a pleasure to explore his buildings and rummage through his library. Thanks are also due to my photographer, Waruna Gomis, who has been an enthusiastic collaborator. Anjalendrans mother Lingawathie, as well as looking after my laundry, has always offered me encouragement, while K. Muthukumar has kept me well fed and watered. I must also thank both the Dharmavasan/Van der Bliek family and Radhika Coomaraswamy for inviting me to stay in their Anjalendran-designed homes, and all the other building owners, too numerous to mention, who have allowed me to invade their privacy with my camera and notebook. Special thanks are also due to Ena de Silva for her kindness and to Miles Young for his hospitality and moral support.

I am aware of my debt to a long line of Anjalendrans assistants and former students who have created the drawings which appear in this book, but I would like to offer special thanks to Anoushka Dassanayake and Anam Abdul Azeez and, for his beautiful drawings, to Channa Daswatte. Thanks also to architect Shayan Kumaradas for his support, to engineer Deepal Wickremasinghe and to contractor L.B. Ranjith. Dominic Sansoni has provided good-humoured encouragement as well as supplying a number of precious photographs.

My thanks go out finally to all the people of Sri Lanka for your hospitality over many years may you soon find a way to live together again in peace and harmony.
