I enjoyed how the sessions were made up of segments of presentations and interactions. I joined this course exclusively to learn about the nuances of architectural writing, and I must say I was completely surprised by its content. The course instructor Ar. Apurva’s experience and her insightful lectures have been very helpful, and I must say I have gained the confidence to write. She is an amazing mentor. I have learnt so much from her about architectural writing. Her level of patience to answer all of our queries is heart-warming. Thank you, ACEDGE, for coming up with this course!

Abdul Raheem Khaja, Architect, Fourth Dimension Architects, Coimbatore

My first ever online course, and I was obviously sceptical about enrolling. In the end, it did not even feel like an online course. Apurva Ma’am is really welcoming and approachable, and that goes a long way. The course was very well-structured and was easy to understand and grasp. The effort ma’am took to patiently clear our doubts and make sure we understood the explained concepts really stood out for me. The course opened a whole new perspective for me, and I look forward to exploring more in the field. Thank you, Apurva Ma’am.

Pandurangaa Gautam, Student, Acharya Institute, Bengaluru

It was an overwhelming experience for me. The course is power-packed knowledge. I am feeling blessed having been mentored by Apurva Ma’am. Having experience over a decade, I feel she is a walking library of knowledge in the architecture field. If I need to give a one-liner about mam, “If at all we see architectural writing as a destination, Apurva Ma’am is the map for it”. Such intense was her guidance. Thank you, Apurva Ma’am, and thank you, Acedge team.

Sunanda A.J.R, Architect, Mistry Architects, Bengaluru

I loved the course and the mentor’s involvement, passion and commitment. It was an inspiration, and I am glad to have enrolled for it. It opened up a lot of unexplored and enjoyable areas for me. The course itself was structured effectively, always alternating between interactive and course material. This was energizing and kept the interest alive for the 2.5-hour sessions, sometimes more.

Ms. Apurva has helped us gain a larger insight into the area of architectural journalism and left us with adequate knowledge that we can steer in the direction that we would like to take it. She is really passionate about the subject, and she gives the course students a lot of what she knows, and I really appreciate that. She, along with Acedge, has invested a lot of time and effort into the course. I am sure her efforts at giving architectural journalism a wider platform will make a huge difference both for a writer and the reader. I, however did miss interactions with fellow learners. To encourage this, maybe some group exercise could be envisaged, so we also learn from the other

Sidharth Manoj, Student, College of Engineering Trivandrum, Department of Architecture, Thiruvananthapuram

Apurva ma’am’s passion for architectural writing shines brightly throughout the course. From the engaging discussions, informal interactions, assignments, and final feedback, these six weeks under Apurva ma’am’s mentorship have been extremely valuable. Her comments have been really encouraging. I really appreciate how the course has been structured, although I would have loved to interact with my batchmates more through group assignments or discussions. Looking forward to keeping in touch with Apurva ma’am and all of my batchmates. Thank you!

Moksha Bhatia, Architect at Ar. V. K. Bhatia, Amritsar

The course has been highly informative and insightful with lots of fresh learnings. Apurva Ma’am is inspiring, patient and kind. Her meticulously detailed out course and references have been insightful. I didn’t know architecture journalism can be so vast. Earlier, I wanted to take architecture journalism part-time, but I am willing to consider it a full-time job due to her course. There are greater things to learn in it as one practices. I found myself lucky to be part of this course and got to know Apurva Ma’am through this. Articles/research papers and other reading material also enhanced my knowledge. Acedge provided us with an organized platform where we could systematically access our resources given by Apurva Ma’am. The whole course had a positive atmosphere. Apurva Ma’am and Athulya were polite and patient to us every time. These intensive courses can only be enjoyed when we have a cooperative environment that Apurva Ma’am and Athulya provided to us.

Pratishtha Vashishth, Student, Dayalbagh Educational Institute, Agra

Thanks a lot for organizing this course as learners like us wait eagerly for such courses. The course was great, and the organization and delivery of content were also very helpful. The course structure and way of conveying things was commendable. Every session was attracting the learners one step further towards architectural writing. I have learnt a lot from the course. Many aspects regarding the writings in architecture are crystal clear now.

I personally get a lot of motivation from Apurva Ma’am’s own journey in this field. How she chose an off beaten path and excelled in it! Thank you, ma’am, for motivating us and encouraging us up to this level. Really looking forward to meeting you in person as a professional architectural writer in the near future.

Purva Patel, Freelance Architect, Surat

Apurva ma’am has structured the course so beautifully and effectively that understanding different genres of writing became so easy. The way the course was curated helped a lot to understand writings in architecture and how to channel your thoughts through words. The most valuable aspects were the reading exercises given after every class, where I learnt about all kinds of writings and narratives, which guided me to write an article. It put forward a significant amount of clarity which helped me to start writing.

Neha Chavan, Freelance Architect, Sangli

With this course I would say I found a treasure. Treasure of knowledge, skills and experiences. Every session is like a gem added to this treasure and at the end I got a whole package of valuables. This course is a life lesson because through this course I could meet Apurva mam as a mentor. I think I will not be able to describe how much I have learnt from her just through these six sessions. She has left this impression on my mind, that someday I would like to be like her and also I have learnt  a lot from all the participants. The whole course was structured so well but the interactive sessions were the best and the way they were conducted by Apurva mam. Those interactions just opened my mind and let me look at things with different perspective. It was like Apurva mam was on the driver’s seat and she took all of us to a short road trip which is fun and fascinating.  At the end she opened up various paths for us to explore. Thank you so much for this beautiful journey that I will never forget.

This course was really helpful for me in understanding the basics of architectural writing, developing skills, and finding my own niche. The assignments were beneficial. More than writing down, I really found that I didn’t know what I should notice while reading an essay, article, etc, which is the most important aspect of architectural writing. This whole course helped me know where my path is and what I have to practice. A. Apurva Bose was really helpful in teaching and guiding us throughout this course. The presentations were clear and the assignments and the interactive session held about the assignments were really helpful in understanding and broadening our knowledge in this field.

Great thanks to Apurva ma’am for teaching us and helping us all through this course.
