City School of Architecture, Colombo has obtained RIBA accreditation. (wait for the exact jargon!). Actually there is not much jargon at all as I found out. CSA is now a RIBA accredited school.
(I should have thought as much; when you obtain accreditation you get accredited, obviously)
go to csa website

wooohooo! CSA also kissing the sudda fellow's passa paththa ahh! way to go!
ReplyDelete"Bedde" kollo and kello licked Sudda passa paththa so many years ago and published they are the only one have big RIBA......after we received RIBA they should Grab their finger in their own asses coz They don't have to say about RIBA anymore
DeleteCongrats Guys!!
ReplyDeleteA Well done to all past teachers & students too!!!
good for 2 reasons! CSA gets some recognition and now Katubedda can't brag about they having the sole right to kiss the 'sudu passa paththa'. Katubedda needs some African recognition now.
ReplyDeleteI heard that Katubedda new course (BArch) hasnt got RIBA recognition yet. Anybody knows anything about this ?
ReplyDeleteyou heard wrong!
ReplyDeleteRIBA kilo gaanata hambawela thienne.
ReplyDeleteBut their work dont reflect that !
ReplyDeleteEka thamai kilo gaanata (quantity not quality) denne.
ReplyDeleteBut we have a degree. What you all have? Part I and II. Like Jurassic Park I and II. Shame !!!
ReplyDeleteeverybody has the Jurassic park III from the Jurassic park itself.
ReplyDeletewhat do you mean there work don't reflect that. just look at sunanda house the new post in sevenby3 by thisara thanapathi from faculty of architecture university of moratuwa.
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly my point.
ReplyDeleteThis Sunanda house is a carbon copy(Concept)of Palinda's Kiribathgoda house. (http://sevenby3.blogspot.com/2010/04/house-at-kiribathgoda-csla-19.html). It's high time Bedde guys get some CSA Architects as their lecturers if they really want to improve. Here are my suggestions.
Palinda, Shamika, Murad( i dont think he is interested), Sanath, Ruchira..etc. No need to thank me.!!
most of palinda's work are copied from magazines! so if thisara did copy palinda's work (Not really, any moron can see the difference) he would be like iraj copying mata aloke song (which was first copied from a hindi song to sinhala and then from that to iraj's version)
ReplyDeleteThe csa'ites can only create magazine copies or western duplicates which really are not suitable for Sri Lanka (beacause all of their asses are way up in the sudda's passa paththa)
In summary, bedde boys and girls are doing fine with their architecture. However they could use some people like vijitha basnayaka, who are the real master builders of Sri Lanka and not some duplicate sudda ass lickers.
ps- also look at the work from REAL sri lankan architects like narein.
'Bedde boys themselves chased him out. Didn't they? So much for the gratitude. I heard that he doesn't want come there even for a crit now. LOL
ReplyDeleteNo doubt about Architects like Basnayake. But the new generation Architects from 'Bedda' are only better than some Draftsmen( not always). Just take last time Bawa Award. 3 out of 4 were given to CSA past students. What else u want?
ReplyDeleteI dont know who chased who, But bassa was one of the best that katubedda or more importantly the whole architectural academia in sri lanka ever had.
ReplyDeleteI dont know which Bawa awards your talking about but in the 2008 one, out of the 9 shortlisted, 4 are from bedda (sunil, prasanna, samuel, collure) to my knowledge shamika, phillip and palinda are the ones from csa. tommy and nela are a brand of their own i guess.
and shamika's sorry excuse for a house (who needs glass windows that high? come on this is sri lanka- compliments, magazine architecture)was the co-winner with collure's awesome boulder gardens.
people can go on arguing about bedda and csa, which is really pointless since both schools in the end dish out bad architectural education at varying degrees anyway.
Bawa awards are a frikin joke, their objective is "To recognize and reward outstanding contribution to contemporary architecture in Sri Lanka". First define contemporary architecture in Sri Lanka. and its too ironic that the Head of the technical committee and judge of the award was a sudda fellow! are dearest kakki prof robby! last time I checked we were not under the british rule... oh no wait.. yes we are...we need our RIBA!
ReplyDeleteCSA ppl may be gr8 at design, but how big are their dandas?

CSA ppl may be gr8 at design? really? :D
ReplyDeletei like to add a comment
ReplyDeleteif you all don't know CSA got RIBA recognition as a different category (falls under part time courses) Katubedda's recognition is as a degree course, so in fact both recognitions cannot be compared on same grounds just as the courses itself
we are all architects aren't we and talented people from both parties perform well, who does good work needs to be appreciated
whats all these verbal fights for? just takes out dark sides of each and even the great masters names are taken for a joke, shame...
RIBA recognition, Degree, Diploma , Jurassic park I, II or III doesn't make architect or architecture school proud... it's the contribution each does to the field of architecture, country and to the people.
ReplyDeleteYeh True. But please tell one Sri Lankan architect who has worked for PEOPLE !
ReplyDelete1.) Well you do need qualifications to become an architect, so those qualifications do matter.
ReplyDelete2.)Ayyo meya...what about that architect fellow who was the mayor...he did work for the people!
3.) kawuda..kawuda ah...ara great masterrrr wa joke ekata gaththe...shame shame...hooo...
Architecture for all, fine. What about architects for all? Are architects ready?
ReplyDeleteCSA getting the RIBA is a great thing. I donot understand what the profession will get out of this percieved rivalry that some students / young architects seem to have between UOM & CSA.
ReplyDeleteLot of UOM architects teach/ tutor at CSA and vice versa.
Plus there are architects and architects qualifying from both places. As I have noticed, it is always upto the talent and hard work of the individual than where he/she qualified from.
As far as teaching philosophy goes, CSA and UOM have completely different approaches (and that is by design I think)
It is also a good thing. For example, take graduates coming out of Bartlett school of architecture (of UCL in London) which is considered one of the top ten architecture schools in the world. But new graduates from here are not really employable fresh out of school as they have little grasp of the real things out in the industry. So they take at least five years to mature. But the ones that come through do very very original work later on because their design thinking has got adjusted in a certain manner.
Likewise, I feel it is good to keep UOM & CSA approaches different in a way.
"Lot of UOM architects teach/ tutor at CSA and vice versa."
DeleteTechnically that can't be.
To teach at a university you at least need a post graduate qualification from a UNIVERSITY. Thus CSA draftsmen cannot teach architecture at a university.
In most recognized universities around the world, the minimum qualification is a PhD.
There are quite few UOM graduates teaching at some well reputed universities all around the world and haven't seen any of the 'magazine draftsmen' or Bawaists from CSA teaching at a university.
