I had the privilege to learn writing skills from one of the best architectural writers in India. Apurva Ma’am’s knowledge and experience in architectural writing enabled me to think and write about architecture in a methodological way. Throughout the course, the interactive sessions and discussions built the collective learning environment. The assignment and reading sources exposed me to various types of writing in detail. Didn’t realize how the 6 weeks course passed by in time. I would definitely recommend the course to fellow academicians, students and practicing architects.

This course was an eye-opener for me. I always saw writing as a one-dimensional creative process but through this course I got to understand the different aspects which make writing more interesting and logical with a proper structure. Apurva Ma’am is a wonderful mentor. She led us through this journey in a really smooth manner and made us all feel comfortable enough to voice our doubts and opinions. She is a really remarkable person whose words of guidance will stay with me for a very long time.

The course was very helpful in bringing more confidence towards writing about architecture. The extremely methodical structure of curation brought a lot of clarity in understanding the bigger picture in architectural writing as well as the details and nuances involved. The references shared along the way are no less than treasures. My heartfelt gratitude to Apurva for being an amazing mentor who facilitated and enabled our own paths and interests to shine alongside sharing her own thoughts and experiences through the course. Thank you Apurva and Team Acedge for this enriching opportunity!

Ranjani Murali, Architect, New Delhi

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Apurva ma’am for curating the course in such a wonderful manner. The sessions were very well structured, and covering all the relevant topics, in clearly divided heads with appropriate points and examples. They were also presented wonderfully, in a manner that everyone could understand, and doubts that arose were well acknowledged and explained. The assignments were especially helpful. The reading materials were very selective, and each piece held its own place of importance. No two articles were similar, and each one showed a distinct writing style and voice, from which a lot could be learnt. Moreover, they were helpful in getting exposure to more diverse topics and issues. The course made me a better learner, writer and and also opened my mind as a designer, through the discussions that were held, on architectural criticism and other topics, all through the course.

It was a really great learning experience. I enjoyed every session. I also liked the way information was spaced out in every session. It never felt like overload of data. The reference articles shared were also very thought provoking. We could study so much from each and every one of them. Thank you so much for this course again.

Nikita Panchal, Architect, NBZ Architectural Consultants, Nashik

I am grateful to have had Apurva ma’am as my mentor. I honestly didn’t know what to expect out of the course for I thought it would be a recorded session. But on the contrary it was so well structured and since it spoke a lot from the point of experiences ma’am had, it gave a whole personalized theme to it which made it so warm. I loved every session as they were perfectly divided from the time of the slides to the interactive session; it really kept us in the loop and kept us engaged constantly. Thank you for the insights and opening up a lot of avenues to venture and explore.

The course was well-curated and delivered so beautifully, giving new perspectives for me in Architectural Writing/Journalism. With no formal training in architectural writing and yet getting a few works published, taking this course has given me the confidence and knowledge to take my architectural career in a new direction. Sessions with Apurva ma’am was the one thing that made me look forward to Saturdays! Her comments, insights, and meticulously organized materials were very engaging, clear, and concise. I thoroughly enjoyed the course!

It was quite an informative course. I learnt about the various kinds of writing. I was able to discover how to research, analyze and organize my thoughts on paper. I was able to connect with many like-minded people and get to know different perspectives. I understood that a writer never stops learning and writing. I will definitely keep writing and hope to make a difference with the help of it.
