Meegoda is a suburban area of Colombo (25km away from Colombo city) Meegoda situated between Godagama and paduka along B240 road and belongs to the Homagama municipal council. Meegoda mainly known as science and technology city in Megapolis Zoning Plan. Meegoda is an urban development declared area. Also, its known as commercial area.

In this project must design railway station to Meegoda area When design the station must think socio cultural background of the city Also need to think about environmental background of the city. When designing the railway station Mainly focus about how project solve problems in existing station and area. Such as dynamism intensifies due to the rapid development, poor connection between existing Meegoda Railway station and main road, lack of facilities for the commuters and poor platform conditions

The Redesign of the Meegoda Railway Station is vital because its dynamism intensifies due to the rapid development of the Meegoda commercial area. Meegoda Railway Station being a dynamic space would not be sufficient to accommodate the imminent intensity. Therefore, the development represents the intense dynamism in a tangible facet. Hence the existing station needs to break the tree to adjust the above intensity In the process; the old station must be granted its importance and presence Hence the design is mainly carried around the existing, framing and making it the 'jewel' of the whole facility yet celebrating its spirit of the time.

PROJECT SUMMARY

Sri Lanka is popular for handful of rain forests which are rich in biodiversity and among them Kanneliya stands out as the only forest reserve to have highest bio diversity range which is identified by the UNESCO. Kanneliya is great place to explore the endemic species of flora and fauna. Also, researchers and specialists visit to investigate the eco system for scientific research and educational purposes The focus of this community is to facilitate visitors and allow them to explore the Kanneliya forest from a different angle Livelihood refers to securing the necessities of life and defined as a set of activities essential to everyday life that are conducted over one’s life span. The goal of creating a livelihood and economic center is to promote required livelihood development and people who live in this area don’t have permanent income. Economic and livelihood center is a center where local people create a connection directly or indirectly with the community that is coming to the forest reserve

The major problem is the lack of coordination and low involvement of the younger generation in tourism. The main reason for that is the lack of advanced technological support and no place to share knowledge, exchange and create their ideas and thoughts. So, they try to leave the village and go to cities to find jobs and new lifestyles Aim to support the emerging innovation in technology and design by providing a facilitative working environment for industrialists and innovators, to come together in the field of personal and corporate technologies. The hub for innovation caters to the most important aspect of innovation awareness and marketability of these innovations. Thereby providing a platform where emerging products and technologies can be live tested on real users and feedback given to the research and design terms. It is doubly beneficial to the producers as it will generate awareness for the new products and help innovators seeking recognition and resources to transform ideas into usable products The form and concept of the building are to take advantage of the urban context use the interconnecting routes of travel to the guild and energize the innovation hub. Thereby creating a lively environment that promotes social interaction and a natural boost to the buildings' functionality.
