Government buildings are an important part of a people’s cultural and political personality. The design of your government buildings can have varied effects on the people in the surrounding area. Government buildings can bring them together and bind them. It can also tell visitors a visual story of what makes people who they are. With the right kind of architectural expression, a government building can be brought to life. It doesn’t have to be a soulless and purely functional concrete mass. Civil buildings can also be a work of art that not only houses a government institution, but also the hopes, dreams, and goals of a people. When a building is well designed, we say it has character, and this character can be communicated through various aspects of the design.

Local government is the third and lowest level of government in Sri Lanka – after the central government and provincial councils. The local government bodies are collectively known as local authorities. They are responsible for providing a variety of local public services including roads, sanitation, drains, housing, libraries, public parks, and recreational facilities. Local authorities are divided into three different groups: municipal councils, urban councils, and divisional councils (Pradeshiya Sabha).
