LOCATION –MICRO LEVEL

Justification

This Journey starts in awareness center built at the starting point of the entrance to the Ranmasu Uyana. There, people can be given a basic understanding of the place.

Stones were primarily used for the construction during the Anuradhapura period. It was necessary to show the glory of Anuradhapura stone technology even with this design. This type of box-shaped design was made to show the solid quality of the stones. The building is located at the beginning of a staircase that can be climbed up. The stairs are designed to arouse the curiosity of the visitors as well as to create a sense of enlightenment in their minds. A staircase is used in the design of places of worship such as Mihintale as it is a factor that evokes the concentration of the mind of the visitor and directs the mind towards the design and has been used in the design of the staircase in this building. At the end of the upper staircase is a brick facade. It highlights the ruins of the East, and was built on a ruined part that is not present in the ruins of the East. This design was able to highlight the architectural essence of the Ranmasu Uyana. Also, the main areas within this awareness center are the presentation area / ticket counter and souvenir shop.

Then take people to places with these ruins in the form of a journey.
