This assignment focuses on Hikkaduwa, a beach town in my home country Sri Lanka. The small town is full of vibrant people, environments, music and ruled by the power of the ocean that surrounds it. Days here are spent swimming in the water, surfing, drinking coconuts and exploring the local environment. Focusing on the element of sound in my site plan – the loud, calming sounds of waves crashing on the beach are constant, while the cacophony from ongoing traffic of tuk-tuks and buses pose an interesting juxtaposition from the tranquil ocean.
