    Analytical study of the spatial diversity in additive modular architecture; with special reference to dutch structuralism
    (2019) Gawarammana., MBMCB; Botejue, WPS; Samarawickrama, S
    The research is based on stimulations of the modular architecture towards spatial diversity in buildings. The main attributes of the research is established on Dutch structuralism as the hypothetical base for the study. Comparing the typical buildings, their spatial arrangement of forms and spaces, which generate through structuralism comprise of high diversity alongside different spatial qualities. The complex form generated through the combination of small forms, creates distinctive spatial diversity in such forms contrasting with the typical building arrangements and its spaces. Rather than accomplishing organic forms, Structuralists regularly practice the hypothesis of modular architecture, which formulates solid forms to resulting with meaningful edges and spaces within the interior spaces. Local approaches to modular architecture have developed with simple modules for simple construction further their informal arrangement of functions. Considering modular architecture in Sri Lanka, the author has chosen two case studies with similarities and differentiate and critically analysis internal spaces in each case and support to comprehend the dimension of varieties in spatial diversity

    Use of architecture in demonstrating political power in post-confict colombo
    (2019) Katugaha, BHMRI; Botejue, WPS; Samarawickrama, S
    Architecture and political power have associated each other throughout the history. Architecture has the ability to ‘frame’ space and thereby structure actions and construct meaning. The study intended to research upon the nexus between architecture and political power by investigating ‘how’ architecture demonstrate political power and ‘what’ they intend to mean, thereby influence and frame the usage of space by people. A theoretical framework was established at the beginning. Studying the context and international examples were studied. The case study was is post-conflict Colombo (2009-2015) which was analysed with evidences gathered through interviews, reports, newspapers, magazines and many more. The study was broad and multi-disciplinary by its’ nature. Hence, the research was carefully narrowing down without compromising its’ very nature. Since the research was investigating into social-physical phenomena, the analysis was conducted in a narrative format, with the intention of describing it in holistic form. The study identifying key factors such as identities, symbolic representation of identities, change of context, projected imagery of public space and political ideology, aspirations were significant factors contributing subconscious of the public. These were achieved by means of building processes and built form either by design or by default are not deterministic or complete.
