This book delves into the remarkable journey behind the creation of one of Sri Lanka's most iconic hotels. With its focus on architecture, aesthetics, and socio-political challenges, the book sheds light on the captivating tale behind Geoffrey Bawa's masterpiece.
Spanning over 272 pages, Kandalama: The Untold Story delves into the genesis of the Kandalama Hotel, from never-seen-before photographs, news articles and Bawa’s original designs; all taking shape during one of the nation’s most tumultuous periods.
From the early stages of the separatist conflict to the later years of the Marxist uprising, Cooray’s book is a testament to the indomitable spirit of the men and women who defied all odds to construct this architectural marvel.
