At a wedge of this catastrophic event conception of 'sustainable development' has been introduced as a remedial action for an issue. As far as Architecture conserved in this context a great deal of exploration is usable within a practical reality.
Further an a Architectural starting point will be responsible for a sensual manipulation of environment as most of a development strategies are associated with some sort of construction and building industry.

This particular study focuses to seek a validity of practical realms of such a concept with contemporary application in Architectural practice in Sri Lanka.
