Research Colloquium is a brand new event in the CSA calendar for 2023, which provided a forum for a selected group of students of CSA Part I and Part II graduating classes to present the findings of their research studies. Some senior academics from our sister schools of architecture attended the colloquium as discussants, and the rest of the audience was largely comprised of a peer group. The event was held on December 16, 2023, at the auditorium of the Sri Lanka Institute of Architects. It was an important event to improve the research culture at the City School of Architecture.
The research topics of the presenters are as follows:
