University Space and Values: Three Essays par Nira Wickramasinghe
These three essays look at educational space with a special focus on the Sri Lankan university. They deal with architectural issues only in so far as they are grounded in the belief that architecture – like every creative endeavour – is political. Space is indeed fundamental in any form of communal life and in any exercise of power.
