With this attempt, we are trying to introduce a new dimension to travelogues – a form of urban travel writing that talks about urbanity and different built environments in a simple and engaging format.

These travelogues have been made in collaboration with many organizations, fellow architects, mentors, professors and students we met during the Indo-French, Indo-Korea and Indo-Bangla-French Workshops. These collaborations are a wonderful means of not only knowledge exchange but also learning from different cultures and people around the world.

The second session will teach you different methods of storyboarding and presentation methods to make templates for your Portfolio. 

The third session will talk about overall branding of a Portfolio. From colour palette to Cover Page design, everything will be covered.

We will also have a debate on ‘Utopia of Portfolios’ in the third session where will talk about new methods we can explore to share our works to potential employers and evaluators.
