Introduction

Development in Science & technology fields of a country is required for national development & it is globally competitive. Sri Lanka is still a developing country and needs a catalyst to reach its development goals.  Most of the developed countries focus their attention on Research & development of Science & Technology. Their hi-tech production & hi-tech exports are massive in scale. Sri Lanka is at the bottom of it even though we have numerous resources including literate people in the field.

Mechatronic  is  the  next  generation  technology  and  touches  the core of  every  discipline  in Engineering. Development in mechatronic will be the catalyst for all science & technological fields.

Through this project, it is going to facilitate all the requirements for Mechatronic research & development.  As well  as  creating  suitable  background  for  researchers  to  get  successful outcomes.  In  addition  it  is  national requirement  to  promote  mechatronic  among  general public & make awareness of it.



Design Abstract

The Catalyst

The center for mechatronics research and development center is not only a facility that houses the academic and research activities, but also a hub which promotes the value and the awareness of the subject area. This is a hub where researchers, students and general public interact; share ideas, gain knowledge. This knowledge and the interaction is limitless, where it does not restricted to a particular group or particular area. This generates interactions amongst people in different levels of academia, social level in different ways and levels. This is global, the center will just be the hub which connects the stakeholders to the Malabe technological city, to Colombo, to Sri Lanka as well to the Global level. This will be the CATALIST of academic, social, cultural and political dialogue which will enrich the technology and by that the development of the nation as well as the human kind.



Justification

Malabe is most suitable context to build a Mechatronic research center as it to be developed as Science & Technology city of Sri Lanka. All the necessary facilities required for Research & development will be fulfill within the context. Number of Technological institutes & Infrastructure facilities can be identified around the Halbarawa site, which is selected for the project. High density of population can be contributed for experiencing new mechatronic products.

Creating a Mechatronic based science theme park will be a best solution to interact people, Nature & technology in a same context. It creates Harmony in between these three parties.  Science  &  technology  should  not  override  the  nature  &  have  a  control  of  it.  New technologies should experience and practice with parallel to appreciation nature.



Architecturally, designing a research center with public involvement is a great task. There should be separations between public & private zones in Research center. Designing most important, secure & private spaces underground & enveloped by soil layers are solutions to these issues. As well as it will contributes to utilized massive area above the top of covered building as landscape for the park. Merge with the ground and get closer to the ground will improved good interaction between Nature and people. Important Spaces like, laboratories, Workshops, Auditorium, transmission tower & Exploratorium are highlighted and exposed to the park area.

Core space in this project is design incubators & cater 20 individual projects at once. Secondary space is Exploratorium which facilitate variety of experiencing activities related with Mechatronics. All the spaces are empowered with mechatronic systems and people can learn about mechatronics by looking at the spaces.

This project act as a catalyst and give solutions to national development in many ways. As  well  as  this  project  as  a  catalyst  to  promote  mechatronic  among  public.  Mechatronic research & development and Science Park is a National requirement of the country and have many potentials to activate in local context.
