She moves on to detailing interactions and collaborations she undertook as part of coordination for projects. Bringing up examples of working with a variety of architects and specialists for a selection of large-scale projects, she recalls the relationship dynamics and collaboration outcomes of these associations.
On her experience with bureaucratic collaborations, she describes the challenges she faced and how she navigated the private-public partnership projects including parks, etc. Furthermore, she dwells on her design intent and research process and how she integrates an ecology’s organic function in her designs for the parks. Moving on, she details the approach she took up when she saw a bottleneck in work relations she shared with different levels of management and architects, especially in the context of gender bias. On working with BBMP and the language constraints she faced while working across the many other states her projects have taken her, she recalls how she mediated the issue while crediting the project manager in the process. In conclusion, she recalls some of the women architects she worked with and those who stood out to her.
