Design Talk: Moments of Pause with Indudunu Kariyawasam

Join us for the first in a series of Design Talks at the Bawa Space, featuring architects, designers, artists, and researchers.

This design talk presents a journey through a series of architectural photographs by Indudunu Kariyawasam. Moving across projects, it reflects on the quiet importance of architecture and the sense of joy found in shaping space. Through a close attention to detail, material, and spatial experience, the work reveals an ongoing search for a certain kind of serenity. The talk will explore how these spaces are formed with care and intention, and how an honest approach to making allows them to unfold with clarity and meaning.

Indudunu Kariyawasam is a Sri Lankan architect whose work brings together traditional sensibilities and modernist clarity. Based in Galle and Colombo, his practice spans residential, hospitality, and commercial projects, with a focus on functional design, material honesty, and craftsmanship. His work is defined by a restrained, considered approach, resulting in spaces that are both modern and quietly poetic.

Prior to this event, attendees will have the opportunity to explore a space designed by Kariyawasam on April 25-26 through an Open House Colombo Spotlight event with a separate registration via Eventbrite.
