Proposed Budu Madura for Polgasduwa Monastery
Inspired by the design language of the Anuradhapura era, this monument structure is designed to create a peaceful atmosphere for worshippers to calm their minds before worship. The podium space is designed with three levels. The ground level blends naturally with the existing landscape. The second level includes two pethan trees planted in built-in pots. The third level is reached through stone steps and highlighted with Korawak Gala stone murals placed at the front and both sides of the structure.
The roof is supported by eight traditionally carved wooden columns placed on top of eight stone bases. The two-step roof design creates an open and unobstructed view for both outside viewers and worshippers. The Samadhi Pilimaya is placed on a three-foot-high central podium, making it visible from all four sides.
As a design studio, we understand our social responsibility, and we carried out this project as an initiative to give back to society in our own way.
