An Anthology of Neighbourhoods Part 2 Project 2025 Dheshan Kumar University of Moratuwa | Sri Lanka Recent multidimensional risks in Sri Lanka have prompted calls for resilient cities, but many rely on quantitative planning, creating places people must adapt to rather than people-adaptive places. In local unplanned urban environments, which are effectively collection of different neighbourhoods, resilience emerges from the shared, kinetic, and informal patterns of everyday life. This underscores the need for an autonomous framework that fosters a network of productive commons through people-adaptive spaces, grounded in social labour and collective decision-making.The selected context of Kotahena consists of three major neighbourhood groups with specific socio -economic activities as their productive commons, and design interventions are focused on Neighbourhood spaces for incubation, social labour and sharing of resources. A dispersed network of People- adaptive spaces is developed by combining temporary, adaptable units with strategically placed fixed nodes, anchoring connections to the commercial spine.Architectural Common(s) elements were identified focusing on generating an insurgent architecture to form typologies which are symbolic, infrastructural and productive for the neighbourhoods. The project focuses on construction of an identity: a New Grammer, for a self-sustained community and Placemaking through the gradual development of infrastructure overtime as characters/ personalities: Construction of stories.
