What to Expect after joining Architecture? - A complete package for an aspiring Architecture Student.



$35.00

(5 customer reviews)

Are you aspiring to pursue Architecture Course or have joined a school already. Are you having first day jitters and worried what the course has to offer you? Are you clueless about how will you attend your lectures online? Then our course has all the answers to your questions. With just THREE SESSIONS, our team will introduce you to the Architecture course and endless possibilities and opportunities that it comes with.

about this course

Entering into Architecture can be tough and especially during these unprecedented times where we have to rely on virtual modes of communication and physical experiences such as attending a lecture, meeting your classmates and professors almost looks like a far-fetched dream. 

One of the major issues faced by students in first-year is coping up with stringent syllabuses in Architecture Course. While Coaching Institutes do prepare you for clearing entrance examinations, what they don't teach you are the skills required to understand subjects within the course. This gap leaves a student disoriented and some, unfortunately also end up leaving the course. 

We are not here to discourage you, rather prepare for the course, introduce you to the subjects in brief and help make this journey an exciting one!

This online course will introduce you to the Architecture Course, give you an overview about importance of design and role of a designer, talk about different subjects in the course and how they are interconnected. We will also talk about time management and going beyond the curriculum. 

We also teach you how to read architecture drawings and its basics.

The course is an extensive 12 hour course divided into three sessions inclusive of 10 live chapters. The recordings of the live sessions will be available for 15 days after the purchase along with online lessons and exercises which can be taken easily from home.  

The first session will talk about the very basics of Architecture Course and Importance of Design.

The second session will introduce you to different subjects related to Architecture Course and their importance.

The third session will be a concluding session where we will talk about going beyond the course, managing time during college and submission days and much more. The course will end with a live decision making game which help you understand the course in depth and take real life decisions for different situations.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. How is the course going to be conducted?

 These courses are live courses, conducted through an application called Zoom, which allows the tutor and participants to interact, engage via polls, Q and A sessions, IPad sessions, screen sharing and much more.


  1. Do I need a good internet connection to attend the course?

 You do need a decent connection to stay online. However, most of the session is conducted using PowerPoint presentations and I Pad sessions which requires only a fairly decent connection.

 

  1. Can I cancel my purchase after buying the course?

 You cannot cancel the purchase, however, you can transfer the course to a friend/colleague.

 

  1. Can I transfer the course to a friend if I don’t want to continue with the course?

 Yes, you can transfer the course before the course goes live. In this case, one has to provide valid details of the other participant for us to verify.

 

  1. What if I buy courses for two from one account?

 You can buy as many courses from one payable account. All you have to do is provide emails and other necessary details of the other participants for us to verify. Then sit together and enjoy or participate from separate systems, is completely your choice!

 

  1. How do I use Zoom?

 Complete details of how to use the Zoom software is shared via a video upon registration, which will be a part of your introduction lesson. Apart from that, upon registering for the session, Zoom will send you links to download an app suitable for your preferred choice of device as well as for instructions to use the software.

 

  1. When does the session go live and when do I log in?

 We strongly recommend joining the session 15 mins before the given timings to avail perks like interaction with the tutor, listening to some awkward jokes and watching our comic-making process.

 

  1. I cannot find my zoom link for logging in to the course. 

 Upon registration, you receive a confirmation mail from Zoom itself which contains the joining link which is unique to each participant. These emails usually go to your updates tab of the inbox section.

 

  1. I did not receive any emails regarding further registration? 

 Sometimes patience is the key and sometimes systems go berserk. If it’s the first case, be patient and search your updates tab/spam folder for emails under ‘ZOOM’. If it’s the second, drop us a query at leewardistswebinars@gmail.com

 

  1. When do I get the recording of the previous session?

 The recordings will be provided at the end of the course, after all the sessions have been taken by the participants. 

 

  1. How long are the recordings kept on? 

 They will stay live for 15 days after the course is over. 


  1. Can I view the recordings if I am not able to attend the live session?

 Yes, you will receive the recordings 24 hours after the live session is conducted. You can view them if unfortunately, you have not been a part of the live session or if you wish to brush up on the session. 

 

  1. When will I receive my deliverables? 

 You will receive the promised deliverables like certificates after the course is over. However, it depends on the category of the course if there any other deliverables other than certificates promised.
