List of Collaborators
Anjalendran founded his office in 1982 and worked from his mother’s verandah in Greogory’s Road for ten years. In 1992 he moved to Battaramulla and worked from his own home. He never employed more than a handful of assistants at any one time: the number has always been limited by the size of his workspace and tailored to suit his workload. His only fully-qualified collaborators have been his engineer Deepal Wickremasinghe who has been his engineering consultant since 1982, his cousin Shayan Kumaradas who joined him as a freelance project architect in 2002 and Tikiri Bibile who worked for him as an assistant in 1997 and returned as a freelance project architect in 2007. He has never employed a secretary and has never owned any office equipment beyond a typewriter, a telephone and, latterly, a laptop computer.
