Paying homage to the 61-year-old history of Architecture Education in Sri Lanka, we the Department of Architecture celebrate 50 years as a Department at the University of Moratuwa in 2022. Although architectural education commenced in Sri Lanka in 1961, it was established at the ‘Department of Architecture at the University of Moratuwa’ only 50 years ago, in 1972. The Department was officially commenced in 1972, as a course offered by the University of Ceylon’s Katubedda Campus which is University of Moratuwa today. Since then it has grown as a leading architectural teaching and learning institute in Sri Lanka producing architectural professionals to the country during 50 years of time period.
