Falguni talks about the pedagogy, teaching approach, curriculum and environment of the new institute where she was the acting Director. She comments on the administrative decisions of conducting entrance examinations and allowing certain streams to gain admission, and how she pushed for an entry-for-all policy. She also delves in detail about the relationship she cultivated with her students and the discussions that followed. Focusing on a student-response approach, she notes how the curricula usually followed a more pragmatic and hands-on teaching method, and how they developed research-based thesis instead of design. She notes how they tried to create a more rooted and holistic learning environment in the institute. Talking about the admission criteria set by National Aptitude Test in Architecture (NATA), she heavily critiques the organization’s approach towards building careers and notes how they have lost the point of teaching. She also speaks of closing up the institute at this point and her continued struggles with education.
