ARCHITECTURE STUDENTS FROM AMITY UNIVERSITY DUBAI VISIT ALTAIR

A visit to Altair, Sri Lanka’s architecturally unique twin-tower high-rise, was part of an ongoing five-day study tour for architecture students of Dubai’s Amity University. The group comprising 30 final-year students and two lecturers visited the Altair site at Sir James Peiris Mawatha, Colombo 2, for a conducted tour of the iconic structure with its distinguishing sloping and vertical towers. This study tour is an annual highlight of the university’s curriculum for students of architecture. Last year’s study tour was to Singapore and included Marina Bay Sands, also designed by Altair architect Moshe Safdie
