Mini Guides - For Architects, by Architects!
Explore the world through architecture, not tourism.
This collection features Qasas-ul-Safar’s signature Mini Guides — expert travel guides crafted by architects, for architects — designed to help you discover the hidden architectural stories behind every destination.
Our mini guides go beyond typical travel content. Each guide is a design-focused, culturally-informed architecture resource, perfect for architects, students, urban designers, and architecture lovers looking for meaningful, research-backed insights.
Why These Mini Guides Stand Out
Built with an architect’s lens, each guide focuses on:
- Architectural analysis (spatial hierarchy, materiality, tectonics)
- Climate-responsive & site-specific design principles
- Cultural + historical context of each architectural site
- Vernacular and modernist architecture breakdowns
- Sketching prompts, observation notes & field-study tips
- Underrated architectural gems most tourists never find
Whether you're researching tropical architecture, Japanese modernism, sacred geometry, or regional vernacular systems — these guides give you architect-approved knowledge you can apply to your work, studies, and travel.
Perfect For:
- Architects & interior designers
- Architecture students & educators
- Urban planners & landscape designers
- Design travelers & content creators
- Anyone studying regional, vernacular, or modern architecture
Travel Like an Architect, Study Like an Architect
From Bali’s sacred spatial geometry to Japan’s architectural masterpieces, these mini guides transform your trips into architectural field studies — helping you observe details, understand cultural logic, and appreciate design the way professionals do.
📘 Short. Powerful. Insightful. And crafted for architects who want more than sightseeing.
👉 Explore the Mini Guides Collection — and experience architecture the way it’s meant to be seen.
