About

the balcão is a personal architecture blog + zine by Lester Silveira

Hi, I’m Lester, an architect working in the field of heritage conservation

I started this blog in August 2017 to be a platform where I could share my thoughts and writings!

I write mostly about the things that interest me – heritage buildings, conservation, photography and a bunch of other things! I currently divide my time between Bangalore and Goa, and so you’ll find that most of the content revolves around these places, but it is not totally confined to them and transcends all borders.

I usually do 2 or 3 posts a year (too less, I know haha) but you could still sign up for my newsletter so that whenever I do post, you get it delivered straight to your inbox!
