Studio Gang Architects, Founding Principal and Partner | Chicago, United States
About
Across its diverse portfolio, Studio Gang seeks to create measurable positive change for their users, communities, and natural ecology—a mission the studio calls “actionable idealism.” Through an exploration of several of the Studio’s projects – both completed and in-progress – Founding Principal and Partner Jeanne Gang discusses her approach to designing tall buildings to create connections at multiple scales and across multiple groups. From fostering genuine community among residents to establishing porous ground plane links that enhance the public realm, she will demonstrate how design can resist the notion of skyscrapers as impenetrable and isolated, and instead serve a critical role in the reimagining of denser, more livable urban neighborhoods.
