Biography

Jeanne Gang, FAIA, LEED AP, leads Studio Gang Architects, a collective of architects, designers and thinkers generating innovative and award-winning works of architecture. Through exploration and research early in the design process, Ms. Gang’s work has staked out new creative territory in materials, technology, and sustainability. Her projects have been published and exhibited widely, including at the International Venice Biennale, the National Building Museum, and the Art Institute of Chicago.

Ms. Gang’s most recent projects include the Columbia College Chicago Media Production Center, the Lincoln Park Zoo South Pond Renovation, and the Aqua Tower, an 82-story high-rise in downtown Chicago that was named the Emporis 2009 Skyscraper of the Year.

Ms. Gang’s practice also includes a continuing commitment to architectural education. In addition to serving as an adjunct professor at the Illinois Institute of Technology since 1998, where her work has focused on megacities and material technologies, she was a visiting professor at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design in 2004, the 2005 Louis I. Kahn Visiting Professor at the Yale School of Architecture, and a visiting lecturer at Princeton University’s School of Architecture in 2007.
