- **Event Description**: Join us for the launch of Open House Colombo 2026, with a talk by Iromi Perera of Colombo Urban Lab.About this EventOpen House Colombo 2026 begins with an evening of thoughtful discussion and a celebration of Colombo’s urban environment at the Bawa Space in Colombo 07.Join Iromi Perera, founder and director of Colombo Urban Lab, for a look at how cities are increasingly affected by city-making processes that don't consider or align with the natural environment. In Sri Lanka, public spaces are built and maintained with public funds, yet citizens remain users—not shapers—of these environments. Iromi will reflect on how deepening inequality and the climate crisis are reshaping urban life and leading to less inclusive urban planning, and on ways we can all contribute to creating more inclusive cities.Iromi’s talk will be followed by drinks, snacks, and conversation. The event is also an opportunity to meet and talk with the artists, architects, and creatives who are opening their spaces for the festival.Address: 42/1 Horton Place, Colombo 7Google Map link: https://maps.app.goo.gl/NH389zfvvDdnvgm78

To improve the information available on these five architects in the digital sphere, a Wiki-edit-a-thon will be hosted at the De Saram House by Geoffrey Bawa, followed by an Open House Colombo event to visit and experience some of their key buildings. The programme ends with a series of workshops and a public exhibition of reinterpretations or analyses of these buildings through architectural model making. Stay tuned for updates!"
