All books are a product of ’15 days’ of documentation of occupations in Mokpo, South Korea, Chitpur Road, Kolkata, India and Puran Dhaka, Dhaka, Bangladesh with a team of students from colleges in India, France, Bangladesh and South Korea. These travelogues are written and sketched by Anuj Kale and Shreya Khandekar, who are both architects and comic artists. They travel around these cities and through their experiences in the urban territories, they narrate their understanding of the territories, their interaction with them and the people.

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.

    I really wanna thank the Leewardists team for these amazing sessions…As I’m planning for a master’s in Urban Design so I was looking for such a session or anything which helps me to make me understand more about this field and guess what these sessions help me a lot in many ways. And I just want to add one thing, that the way you teach makes everything so simple to grasp which eventually creates more interest in the topic. So, thank you so much for this session!!!

    I saw the recorded version. Very good sessions. Learned a lot about urban design. Taking viewers through live examples instead of just reciting theory definitely makes it all the more interesting. Thank you very much for making Architecture interesting for me, bcoz I was having doubts about it interesting lockdown. But your sessions actually brought me on the right track I suppose.
