Abstract:
"In my approach to architecture I think my first concern is the
arrangement of spaces, how this related to the site and the needs of the
movement constrains there are." Geoffry Bawa (1995 interview by arch. Channa
Dahaswattha ,p,11)
Basically architecture considers as the art of creating and arranging
spaces. It consist both intangible things as well as tangible things. Both these
contributes well to generate the spatial quality of each space. Ultimately that
spatial quality helps to make and enhance the spirituality of the space.
When these spaces are arranged carefully in their hierarchal order it
explains and clearly shown the spatial distribution pattern. And finally it explain
the total meaning and massages which ultimately creates an emotion in the
human mind A spatial distribution pattern which gives the message a meaning
to create an emotions and there rhythmic ways can be identified as the spatial
orchestration pattern in architecture. This has been included in the Sri Lankan
tradition as well. This can be identified through understanding clearly and
examining and analysing carefully the cultural identity (Traditional identity) as
because spatial orchestration pattern develops on the basis of a socio cultural
background.
Tradition in its definition is additive process which is continuing to form
generation to generation and it also implicates the wisdom of the past. When
considering our tradition, there are two main divisions. One is the grand tradition
which is highlighted on the royal buildings grand religious premises. While other
one purely evolved in elite houses and called as vernacular tradition.
