RISING SUN FOR RISING STARS

BY ROSHAN DE SELFA

Introduced by Nippon Paint, Japan in 2008 to inspire and motivate designers, the Asia Young Designer Award (AYDA) was held in Sri Lanka for the first time in October 2016. The competition, launched under the theme of, 'Be Bold, Be Free, Be You' encouraged many Sri Lankan students of Architecture and Interior Design to participate in this competition. Our very own Sandun Ekanayake and Pratheepan Kalaieesan won the Color Award and Gold Award respectively. As a result, Pratheepan will join the Gold Award winners from other countries participating in AYDA 2016, to compete for the Platinum Award at the Asia Young Designer Award Regional Learning Programme 2017 to be held in Indonesia.
