VISHAAN CHAKRABARTI: ON OPPORTUNITY
When we think of Open House New York, we rightfully think about
buildings and the thrill of getting access to the otherwise
inaccessible. But this summer, in celebration of the 15th anniversary
of Open House New York Weekend, we invite you to join us as we explore
some of the deeper values and ideas that make the experience of
architecture and cities so powerful, values and ideas that Open House
New York itself champions in its programs.
Open House New York has invited a group of leading thinkers from
design, art, science, and media for open-ended conversations about
life in the contemporary city. In different but compelling ways, the
work of each of these individuals helps us better understand the
pleasures and frustrations of living an urban life, and asks questions
that challenge the way we see and think about the city. Each
conversation is structured around a broad theme but all will explore
how fundamental values like openness and access help shape our
experience of New York and give cities everywhere their vitality and
meaning. Read more about the series and speakers here.
On August 3, join OHNY and VISHAAN CHAKRABARTI FOR A CONVERSATION
ABOUT OPPORTUNITY. VISHAAN CHAKRABARTI IS THE FOUNDER OF PRACTICE FOR
ARCHITECTURE AND URBANISM (PAU). Simultaneously, VISHAAN IS AN
ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF PRACTICE AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY’s Graduate
School of Architecture, Planning & Preservation (GSAPP), where he
teaches architectural design studios and seminars on urbanism. His
highly acclaimed book, _A Country of Cities: A Manifesto for an Urban
America_ (Metropolis Books, 2013), argues that a more urban United
States would result in a more prosperous, sustainable, joyous, and
socially mobile nation. He has been a guest on the _Charlie Rose_
show, MSNBC’s _The Cycle_, NY1, NPR, WNYC, and has been profiled in
the _New York Times_ and the _Financial Times_.
