Hall of Fame: The Forgotten Hero of Architecture Minnette de Silva
Update: 2025-07-08
Description
Nihal Arthanayake's nomination for the Trapped History Hall of Fame is a great one. The lost, forgotten and overlooked Sri Lankan hidden hero of architecture Minnette de Silva.
She was the first Asian woman elected to the Royal Institute of British Architects and a friend of Le Corbusier and Picasso. But she's been overshadowed by those men of architecture and cultural history.
So tune in to hear her architecture story and why she means so much to Nihal.
