Impromptu Architecture: SLIA Style

Sri Lanka Institute of Architects (SLIA) is the legal body that police the practice of architecture in Sri Lanka. Its headquarters is situated in Vidya Mawatha, Colombo 7. Sometimes what happens outside the Institute is far more interesting and thought provoking than what happens within. It was hard to ignore this 'accidental installation' outside the building a few days ago and the SLIA's valiant attempt to claim ownership of it! If only more architects passing through the system had the creative energy as much as that of the cleaners.
