Architect and 2019 TIME100 Honoree Jeanne Gang leads international architecture and urban design practice Studio Gang. Her award-winning practice emphasises research, experimentation and collaboration resulting in a diverse body of work. Projects range from cultural centres, to high rise towers and installations, as described in a new comprehensive monograph, published by Phaidon.
Studio Gang: Architecture features 25 signature projects from the past twenty years along with some of the practice’s most anticipated projects including the Aqua Tower in Chicago; Writers Theatre in Glencoe, Illinois; the Arcus Center for Social Justice Leadership in Kalamazoo, Michigan; the American Museum of Natural History and O'Hare International Airport. Chapters open with short essays by Gang and are illustrated with sketches, drawings, photographs, and renderings.
In celebration of the monograph, Studio Gang: Architecture (RRP £59.95) will be available to purchase with your ticket at a special offer price.
Jeanne Gang is a Professor in Practice at the Harvard Graduate School of Design and her work has been exhibited widely, including at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), the International Venice Architecture Biennale and the Art Institute of Chicago.
