Lithaka Amarapala - BSc(Hons) Architecture - Year 02 - 2022

2022

I am an undergraduate student who is still reading the degree BSc in Architecture, awarded by Liverpool John Moores University conducted by Sri Lanka Institute of Information Technology.

My passion in designing always comes when I dig deep into the subject and by analyzing the content that explore more ideas. As a designer, I highly appreciate the freedom and the independence of thinking. I am an artist who gives my best to produce a unique creative design. And that made me choose architecture as my future career.

In this phase of my journey I hope to serve the society with my creativity and dedication while seeking for maximum experience in the field of architecture to shape my knowledge and designing skills up to a professional level
