dtours: the art of travel, the architecture of happiness

dtours are design tours aimed to spread awareness of architecture, design, art and culture through travel. We feel that architecture, design and visual material culture is best understood when experienced.

We also feel, shared and collective experiences are more meaningful as they enhance the absorption as well as promote interaction amongst individuals. dtours are driven by an inherent enthusiasm for design, culture and exploration. They attempt to inform, align, engage and inspire the discerning traveller.

We have curated some of the most inspiring and intellectually stimulating design tours for people with curious minds and a desire to learn by experiencing visual material culture

In the year 2008, the first edition of dtours took flight. ten days, twenty invited individuals – traversed a thousand kilometers, camping, cooking and immersing themselves in design by exploring more than a hundred design projects. An interesting group of aligned minds travelled together, to enjoy a design expedition.

In the decade since its inception, the dtour footprint has been left behind on almost every continent. From the regionalism of Scandinavian architecture and design, to the versatility of the American, from the Far East to Europe – we now set forth, sharing our experiences, by offering dtours to the design and architecture community at large.
