Hema Sankalia’s first teaching experience was at the Academy of Architecture in the late 1960s. He describes her first experience of teaching, and the associations she made over the years with students and management alike while recalling some of the students who kept in touch with her. Going back to the time she shut down the firm with Subodh departing and many other factors in the mid-1980s, he talks about the many teaching experiences she gained since then. He mentions Kamla Raheja Vidyanidhi Institute for Architecture and Environmental Studies (KRVIA) and Sir J. J. School of Art, etc. In the second half of her teaching career, she offered her expertise as a retired practitioner and professor. He mentions some of the students who learned under her guidance and who went on to become commercially successful in the field. He goes into detail about her methods and approach to teaching. 

Moving on to the contexts and details of her notable projects, he draws a common thread that connects all her projects: they were all built on a remote land. From his understanding, he talks about the rudimental structure of the plans he noticed. He mentions Jayashree Malvi who worked with Hema Sankalia for a long time. He speaks about the shoddy urban and upscale architecture in Bombay that she negatively reacted to and also described some of the architectural spaces she appreciated in Bombay. He mentions the contemporaries she respected, including Kamini Dev, while dwelling in their building approach. On bringing up the National Coalition, he talks of the gap in Indian education that fails to address urban planning which is also what Hema thought should be addressed. Concluding with his understanding of the postmodern traditions in architecture, he talks about bringing historical elements back into architecture which could be noticed in her projects.
