The timeless way of building
Sri Nammuni, V
If we accept that the only worthwhile building is building that is architecture, the title borrowed from Christopher Alexander (CA) contains within it as astounding amount of wisdom which keeps unravelling greater depths the longer one contemplates on it. This phrase of CA is pregnant with such meaning that one is lead to speculate on the insights that may have ensued if the thinking of CA met on some fertile ground the wisdom of Ananda Coomaraswamy (AC) before the original thoughts of both were robbed of their, verility by the likes of us.

The Sri Lankan tradition for shelter
De Silva, Nimal
The tradition is the opinion or belief or custom handed down from ancestors to posterity. The tradition is not static, it is the product of the functional demand adopted with the nature and environment, flavoured with culture and belief. It was developed with certain value systems, anything that was not acceptable to the society was gradually rejected, only what was proved useful for people were retained and adopted. The outcome of confidence and the human satisfaction experienced by the ancestors, formulated and precipitated the tradition. Today it is assumed that the ultimate objective of modernizing development is the urbanization and industrialization. In a country like Sri Lanka with a rural population of more than 80% one must be careful in formulating development policies. The result of inappropriate development policies which assume that increased agricultural production is synonymous with rural development, Where such policies are based on large scale, capital intensive agro-industrial projects, there may be serious disturbance to existing settlement patterns
