About this listen
"We architects must be idealists. We construct not just individual buildings, but whole cities. We plan cities, and in doing so, change lives."
Plastic Emotions is a novel based on the true life story of Minnette de Silva - forgotten feminist icon and the first female Sri Lankan architect. In a gripping, elegant, and lyrical story, Shiromi Pinto paints a complex picture of de Silva, charting her affair with infamous Swiss modernist Le Corbusier and her efforts to build a post-independence Sri Lanka that is heading toward political and religious turmoil. Moving between London, Chandigarh, Colombo, Paris, and Kandy, at a time of communal violence in Sri Lanka, the rise of the civil war, and troubles with building a brand-new city in North India, Plastic Emotions explores the life of a young, trailblazing south Asian woman at a time of great political turbulence across the globe.
