Buildings As Ecosystems: A Conversation with Chitra Vishwanath
Send us Fan Mail If you think sustainable architecture is mostly about energy ratings and lower carbon, this conversation will stretch your frame. We sit down with Indian architect Chitra Vishwanath, founder of Bangalore-based Biome Environmental Solutions, whose work treats buildings as ecosystems that belong to their climate, their soil, and their communities. Her approach is direct, grounded, and refreshingly practical: start with what you have, especially the resources already on site, and design so the building strengthens the systems around it. We talk through Biome’s origin story in a rapidly changing India, then get into the hands-on realities of ecological architecture in dense urban conditions. Chitra shares how excavated earth can become compressed stabilised earth blocks, why testing soil composition matters, and what durability looks like when you detail for water properly. We also dig into craftsmanship and employment, and why “green building” has to include people, skills, and dignified work, not just materials. Water becomes the turning point: rainwater harvesting, groundwater recharge, and wastewater reuse at both building and city scale. It’s a powerful reminder that urban sustainability can be regenerative, reducing flooding while bringing wells and aquifers back to life. We finish with a clear challenge for the next 20 years: practise architecture as teamwork, stay open, and don’t be afraid of risk when the goal is a healthier future.

Get It Right with Undercover Architect
44 Ways #35: Get a Blower Door Test
Hello! This is Episode 435. This is Way #35 of the ‘44 Ways to Create Your Sustainable Home’ series. In this episode, we’re kicking off Section Eight: Sustainability During Construction. And so, we’re going to start this section of the ‘44 Ways’ series by discussing something I wish would become standard for every single new build and potentially every renovation as well. Way #35 is: Get a Blower Door Test. [For all resources mentioned in this podcast and a free, downloadable PDF transcript, head to www.undercoverarchitect.com/435] Because, if you’re planning to create a sustainable home, your goals can come completely undone during construction. This is largely because there is no ‘as built’ verification process inherently included in how we deliver construction of residential homes. Yes, in some locations, there are some checks along the way, but the conventional construction process doesn’t have a legislated way of proving to you that you’ve got the home you designed and specified. However, a certified Passive House does have as-built verification requirements, and so, there are certain tests that can be adopted from the passive house methodology into traditional construction practices. These tests can provide useful information during construction, whilst improvements and changes can still be made, to ensure you’re getting what you’re paying for in your designed and modelled energy performance. And as a result, they can uplevel typical construction to optimise what’s possible for your home. As always, if you'd like to access a full transcript of this episode and links to any resources I mention, head to www.undercoverarchitect.com/435. Now, let's dive in!
