WHO
WE ARE
ThreeFlaneurs is a design collective that works at the intersection of Architecture & Travel. Our main goal is to inspire people to travel with the objective of learning from well-designed environments.
As architects with extensive experience in teaching, journalism and having travelled widely around the world in search of exemplary architecture, we initiated a few programs under the banner of ThreeFlaneurs to enable others to join us on this journey and learn along with us.
FOUNDERS.
Ekta Idnany
Partner and Program Manager (India Arch Open)
Ekta is an architect, writer and a culture enthusiast. She has been teaching architecture and design for the past ten years now at various institutions such as KRVIA, BSSA, ISDI as well as being invited as a guest critic at other schools in Mumbai. She has also been running her own design practice in Mumbai, while writing for several magazines such as Architecture: Time Space People, Indian Architect and Builder and Domus. Her design ideology is centered around adding value to the lives of users.
