Jeanne Gang (born March 19, 1964)[3][2] is an American architect and MacArthur Fellow.[4] She leads Studio Gang Architects, an architecture and design firm based in Chicago and New York. Gang's projects include Aqua,[5][6] an 82-story mixed-use skyscraper, the Arcus Center for Social Justice Leadership at Kalamazoo College,[7] the WMS Boathouse at Clark Park on the Chicago River,[8] and the Nature Boardwalk at Lincoln Park Zoo.[9]

Biography

Gang was raised in Belvidere, IL and earned her Bachelor of Science in Architecture from the University of Illinois in 1986 and a Master of Architecture with Distinction from the Harvard Graduate School of Design[10] in 1993. In 1989, she was an International Rotary Fellow, and she studied at the ETH Swiss Federal University of Technical Studies in Zurich, Switzerland. Prior to founding her own firm, she worked with OMA/Rem Koolhaas in Rotterdam.[11][12]

Work

The work of Studio Gang Architects has been exhibited widely. In 2012, the Studio was featured in the solo exhibition Building: Inside Studio Gang Architects at the Art Institute of Chicago;[13] in 2011, Studio Gang was part of the Museum of Modern Art exhibition Foreclosed: Rehousing the American Dream.[14] The Studio's work has been shown at the Venice Biennale, the National Building Museum, and at Design Miami. She has received high honors for her work, including the National Design Award for Architectural Design from the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum in 2013 and an Academy Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 2006.

Gang has authored two books—Reveal (2011) and Reverse Effect: Renewing Chicago's Waterways (2011)—and co-edited the Art Institute of Chicago exhibition catalogue Building: Inside Studio Gang Architects in 2012.

Gang has taught architecture as an adjunct associate professor at the Illinois Institute of Technology since 1998. She was visiting professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Design in 2004 and 2011, held the Louis I. Kahn professor chair at the Yale School of Architecture in 2005, was the Graduate Design Studio Visiting Lecturer at Princeton University in the spring of 2007, and taught at Rice University School of Architecture in 2014.

In 2009 the skyscraper Aqua was completed; it was designed by a team led by Gang, and was the third[15] tallest building in the world to have a woman as lead architect, at 859 feet (262 m). It was her first skyscraper project, and was the largest project ever awarded to an American firm headed by a woman.[16][17]

In the spring of 2014, Jeanne Gang signed on to be a member of the Guggenheim Helsinki Design Competition jury.[18]
