• Name: Kalana Perera

• Studio: Level III

Existing railway station is a very typical and separated part of the city, most of the passengers use their own desire pathways to go their location. There are no any gathering places and kind of boring space to waiting. As Not having a proper linkage to the city the station will not work properly.

New railway station would create direct relationship between the station and surrounding urban and public spaces. Rearranged desired pathways would make new circulation patterns around the station towards the city. Curved leaf like form would generate moving dynamic environment and it will grab sunlight to generate energy. It will pull up all the smoke and heated air through his gills which are placed on roof hips.

All the facilities such as gaming lodge, observation deck with the new interface of the station will promote train to the people and the building will create an identity to be a most memorable and loving element to the Kalutara city.
