University of Ruhuna, Wellamadama Campus
Geoffrey Bawa · Matara, Sri Lanka · 1988
The University of Ruhuna's Wellamadama campus spreads across a coastal landscape through linked courts, terraces and roofed walkways. Geoffrey Bawa organized teaching spaces as a sequence of buildings fitted to the terrain. The campus demonstrates how a substantial educational programme can retain a close connection with vegetation, sea views and the changing ground. Visiting: Working university campus.
