She has also given guest lectures and been part of invited Jury Panels in India.
Her research interests are in the areas of architectural history- theory, design thinking and historic urban precinct regeneration. She co-creates Urban Design Studios which uses the transforming ‘urban villages’ in Bengaluru as an active testing ground to examine themes like heritage, legacy, collective memory and identity and build ‘design’ narratives that reimagine urban practices that shape the public realm in Indian cities. Her work is informed by an abiding passion for nature and an appreciation of literature and arts.
