Our Colombo: A Bird’s-Eye Conversation at Lotus Tower

Join two expert voices documentary photographer Kesara Rathnavibhushana and architect/artist Sandeepa Vithanage for an intimate conversation held at the summit of the iconic Lotus Tower.

This session offers a rare, elevated perspective on Colombo's evolving narrative. Kesara will guide the group to see the city through a visual lens, reflecting on its transformation, the pulse of its neighbourhoods, and the contrasts between old and new. Sandeepa adds his unique analytical and aesthetic insight, exploring the geometry of urban design and the composition of the city's structures through the eye of an architect and watercolour artist. 

Together, they discuss the symbolic power of the Lotus Tower and what this "bird's-eye view" can teach us about Colombo's future. This conversation is an invitation to see the city not just as a skyline, but as a living, shifting, and deeply layered work of art and architecture.
