I am a undergraduate architecture student from SLIIT school of architecture, which is affiliated with Liverpool Jhon Moores University UK. I find the field incredibly interesting and I have gained a great appreciation for it over the years.

I strongly believe in the ability of the architecture and research combined with design thinking for strengthening our societies and having a positive effect on the world. Only together can we build a better future, therefore my communication and team working skills.

Project Summary

Introduction

This project is about analysing and understanding a character, arriving at a concept and representing it through design.

Background

During the bygone periods of Sinhala Kings , there was a comedian called Andare who was employed to amuse the King and his Ministers. One of the most popular folk stories in Sri Lanka is the story of Andare. Andare was born in the South of Sri Lanka in a village in Matara District . Folklore has many stories about Andare and the pranks he played on the King, his Ministers and even the Queen. He was appointed by King Keerthi Sri Rajasinghe (1742 - 1782). Andare used to be a poet who could instantly compose verses to suit any ongoing situation. Despite being a joker, the tales suggest Andare had a great intelligence that aided him in turning situations to his favour. After his death he was buried in the town of Udamalala, his hometown, where the tomb can be found on the banks of the Udamalala wewa.
