Post-War Optimism in Colombo, Sri Lanka

After twenty-six years of civil conflict, Sri Lankan government has geared towards rapid urban beautification after the bloody victory over the Tamil Tigers. Since 2009, Colombo changed beyond recognition: the high walls around public institutions have come down, the military checkpoints disappeared, streets are clearer and inhabitants enjoy the new freedom of going out and using public places. Within this new political situation, the people of Sri Lanka have less and less influence over their rapidly changing surroundings. The design proposal for an educational center has all the optimal circumstances to facilitate and trigger political participation.
