In this episode Simon Henley interviews Milinda Pathiraja. \n\nMilinda's is a director and co-founder of Robust Architecture Workshop, a practice based in Sri Lanka, and concerned with developing new means for architecture to operate there. The term 'Robust' is key, its meaning to Milinda representing architectures ability to develop a resilience by a clear sighted engagement with the world - eschewing the brittleness that comes from autonomous conversations, and making its languages from a bottom up approach, one with tolerance at its heart. Here tolerance is a calling to an architecture which is sited in the specifics of the architects context, and the needs of the project - encompassing material behaviours but also much more, including the lives and futures of those engaged with its making.\n\nhttps://www.facebook.com/robustarchitectureworkshop/\n\n\u2014\u2014\nCredits: \nRegister is the Research Group in the Department of Architecture & Landscape at the Kingston School of Art, Kingston University London kingstonarchitecture.london\n\nHead of Department: Mary Johnson\nProducer: Laura Evans / Andrew Clancy\nInterviewer: Simon Henley\nEditor: Andrew Clancy\nMusic: Poddington Bear - Rainbow Architecture
