The Financial Times recently commissioned me to shoot a feature on architect, urbanist, author and Columbia University associate professor Vishaan Chakrabarti.
From the story written by Anjli Raval:
“Vishaan Chakrabarti is on a mission to change the way people in the US live. Elbows pressed against the dining table in his Flatiron District loft, he elaborates on what he calls “the American Scheme” of suburban home ownership. A multi-decade government push towards a lifestyle that evokes tree-lined streets, white picket-fenced houses and manicured front lawns is, according to Chakrabarti, the leading cause of many of the US’s most pressing problems, from foreclosures and unemployment to spiralling healthcare costs and climate change.
