Leewardists Urban Travelogue Bundle – South Korea, India, Bangladesh

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.

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.

  3. keerthana nair

    Thank you for taking away the fear from this word “concept” which all of us architecture students struggle till the end of our design.

  4. shresthamanashi

    A much needed course to clarify everything from the basics to decoding the brief and coming up with your own concept. Thank you for the opportunity to learn things that aren’t taught in the college. Looking forward to join future webinars as well.

  5. Vinitha Milevahanan

    Myself, Vairoshini and Harretha are friends from the same class and we are here for the past 3 courses – Thesis, Case Study and Site Analysis and now Briefs and Design Concepts. We are currently doing our Urban design and next will be our Thesis. The whole process of the courses made us think, visualize, share and relate to each other in terms of design. And most importantly thanks for the positive vibes and interesting and understandable sketches and presentations which we can recollect easily anytime.

  6. Harretha Rani

    Looking forward to join next course
