How does the infrastructure of our cities shape how we can live in them? Keller Easterling, architect and author of Extrastatecraft: The Power of Infrastructure Space is here to answer questions about global cities and the architecture and infrastructure that support them.
Easterling is an architect and a professor at Yale University. She is the author of Subtraction, which looks at building removal, Organization Space: Landscapes, Highways and Houses in America, and several other works. Her latest book, Extrastatecraft: The Power of Infrastructure Space, looks at both how infrastructure shapes both how people live in cities and whose in charge of setting those rules. (You can see some of the examples she’s cited here.)
