The conversation begins with a discussion on how different types of spaces are bound under common threads of design integration, in terms of saving water, directional orientation and making a space passive, as well as the material used for building any space, among other things. Chitra notes how these integrations can further be extended to office spaces by way of design and give an example of how things function in their own office. Moving on to discuss the ecological projects undertaken by Biome, Chitra shares her insights on taking on these large-scale projects and the challenges and learnings from them. 

Talking about a significant design approach they developed, she recalls working on a hospital project with the intention of making it accommodative of varying mental health requirements in patients. She also notes the work they did on a government-commissioned railway project and comments on the way they had to approach it. She recalls details of the projects and notes how it helped them re-explore their thoughts on a design process. She also recalls a brief stint of working on the Sai University Campus project in Chennai and a tourism project with the Madhya Pradesh government. Concluding the discussion, she talks about a few more public sector projects undertaken by Biome and the interesting details about them.
