We work as a collective of over 100 architects, designers, and thinkers to create innovative projects that bring about positive change for people, communities, and the natural environment. Our award-winning body of work spans scales and typologies, from cultural and public buildings, to urban master plans, to high-rise towers. In all of these building types, we are interested in how architecture can strengthen communities. A sustainability ethos is at the heart of our practice, coupled with a design methodology defined by research and experimentation, including collaborations with a wide range of disciplines inside and outside the traditional design fields. Our projects include Chicago’s 82-story, mixed-use Aqua Tower, whose undulating floor plates form a “vertical neighborhood”; the expansion of the American Museum of Natural History in New York City; the new United States Embassy in Brasília, Brazil; the Nature Boardwalk at Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago, a public park that functions as living habitat and green infrastructure; and mixed-use towers in San Francisco, Toronto, and Amsterdam. 4 STUDIO GANG Selected Honors and Awards World’s Most Innovative Companies, Architecture, Firm of the Year, Architizer A+ Awards, 2016 Fast Company, 2018 Divine Detail Honor Award, AIA Chicago, 2016 (City The Plan Award, 2017 (Chicago River Boathouses) Hyde Park) Jury and Popular Choice Winner, Architizer A+ National Honor Award, AIA, 2016 (WMS Boathouse Awards, 2017 (Writers Theatre) at Clark Park) Building of the Year Midwest, Architect’s Award for Excellence in Design, Thirty-third Annual Newspaper, 2017 (University of Chicago Campus Design Awards, Public Design Commission, New North Residential Commons) York, 2015 (Rescue Company 2) National Honor Award, AIA, 2017 (Writers Theatre) National Design Award for Architecture Design, Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, 2013 American Architecture Prize, Educational Buildings, 2017 (University of Chicago Campus Finalist, Deutsches Architekturmuseum North Residential Commons) International Highrise Award, 2010 (Aqua Tower) Community Impact and Social Responsibility Skyscraper of the Year Award, Emporis, 2009 (Aqua Award, Design-Build Institute of America, 2017 Tower) (University of Chicago Campus North Residential Commons) PORTFOLIO 5 Jeanne Gang, FAIA, Int.

Unpublished © Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat / Jeanne Gang International Journal of High-Rise Buildings International Journal of June 2016, Vol 5, No 2, 117-125 High-Rise Buildings www.ctbuh-korea.org/ijhrb/index.php Three Points of the Residential High-Rise: Designing for Social Connectivity Jeanne Gang† Studio Gang Architects, Chicago, USA Abstract In this paper we discuss the terms “exo-spatial design,” “solar carving,” and “bridging” as strategies for creating more socially connective tall buildings. As a typology, high-rise residential buildings have a unique set of challenges to becoming fully activated urban participants in the cities in which they are located. While there is a general recognition and appreciation that tall buildings provide identity to a city, there is often criticism of how they relate to their surroundings. Critics have posited that tall buildings are insular and foreboding by their very nature. This paper explores several design avenues for architects to consider in order to improve the social aspect of tall buildings. As all cities become taller and denser to accommodate growth, the need to design social space in, on, and around tall buildings must be continually examined if we are to have cohesive urban fabric that supports communities.

They take place on Thursdays at 5:30pm CST and will be presented as video conferences. To join the lectures, please register at https://uchicago.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJAvceirpjkrHdAmjTAxgtrgzJo23cRGjdAA After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information that will enable you to join all subsequent Thursday Guest Lectures. April 9 Richard Talaske (Talaske Group) Rick Talaske relishes great soundscapes. The engineer-turned-scientist-turned- acoustician routinely explores the world’s great concert halls and theaters. Surveying a hall’s soaring spaces and elegant architectural expressions, his mind translates a room’s geometry, the character of its surfaces, its materials, and spatial dimensions into acoustic possibilities. Analysis, investigation, and reverence converge to plumb the space’s possibilities — to take away whatever secrets and lessons it might reveal. Talaske is someone who is never satisfied with what he already knows. Clients expect that Talaske’s rigorous technical and scientific education would result in exacting methodology and specific design standards. He is cheerily unapologetic about what might be experienced as “obsession with sound.” People don’t hire a world-class acoustician to achieve only fair results. What surprises some people is his passionate and enthusiastic advocacy for both performers and audience members. As an avid lover of live performance himself, he strives to create spaces that enhance live events. Before founding his acoustical consulting firm nearly 20 years ago, Talaske was a protegé of Larry Kirkegaard, advancing quickly to senior consultant where he was assigned major design and project management responsibilities for the Portland Center for Performing Arts, Bayfront Center St.

  • The Arcus Center for Social Justice Leadership
    CHAPTER 16 The Arcus Center for Social Justice Leadership by Studio Gang Architects The Arcus Center for Social Justice Leadership at Kalamazoo College in Michigan is a new, purpose- built structure dedicated to developing emerging leaders and sustaining existing leaders in human rights and social justice. This paper addresses the challenges and achievements of using cordwood masonry (wood masonry is the term we use most) to construct it. The use of wood masonry for the Arcus Center is a key part of the building’s design, and resonates with the center’s social justice mission. In using this method at an institutional scale, we were presented with interesting logistical and technical challenges. However, by merging traditional cordwood masonry practices with contemporary design and building technologies, we were able to explore new and different ways to incorporate the benefits of this traditional method. Why Wood Masonry? The process of building with wood masonry and the values it represents directly informed the Arcus Center’s design and construction. Remaining true to the com- munal history and spirit of this tradition, every stage of the project — ​the decision to use wood masonry, procurement of the material and its methods of construction and detailing — ​was approached as a collaboration between the College (our client), (Author’s note: Claire Halpin and Wei-Ju Lai of Studio Gang Architects, Chicago, pre- sented a version of this chapter at the Continental Cordwood Conference in July of 2015. Their paper was subtitled “Merging a Traditional Building Method with Com- mercial Construction Technology.” I was brought in as a consultant in the early design stages, and, prior to construction, Jaki and I trained the expert brick and stone masons in the special considerations for cordwood masonry.

  • Architect Jeanne Gang Named in Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential
    Architect Jeanne Gang named in Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People of 2019 Jeanne Gang leads the design for California College of the Arts’ expanded campus in San Francisco Jeanne Gang. Courtesy of Studio Gang. San Francisco, CA—April 17, 2019—Today, Time Magazine released its TIME 100: Most Influential People of 2019, with architect and MacArthur Fellow Jeanne Gang, founding principal of Studio Gang, as the only architect included on this year’s list. Gang is a pioneering architect, champion of gender equity, leader on sustainability, and one of the few women to reach the highest echelons of a historically male-dominated field. Gang was recently selected for the $8.5 billion Chicago O’Hare International Airport expansion, becoming the first woman to design a major U.S. airport terminal. In November 2016, California College of the Arts (CCA) selected the award- winning architecture firm Studio Gang to design a new, expanded campus that will bring all of CCA’s 2,000 students and programs together for the first time in San Francisco. CCA and Studio Gang will create a living, learning laboratory— a new kind of academic space for makers and thinkers—that will accommodate everything from traditional to experimental practices and serve as a model of sustainability. In addition, CCA has been a trailblazer in creating student housing. With the opening of Blattner Hall in September 2018 and the groundbreaking of 188 Hooper in February 2019, CCA is on track to house nearly half of its student body by 2020. “I am incredibly proud to be working with Jeanne Gang, who is much- deserving of this international recognition,” says CCA President Stephen Beal.
