Jeanne Gang

American architect and MacArthur Fellow Jeanne Gang is the founding principal of Studio Gang, an architecture and urban design collective based in Chicago and New York. Jeanne is recognized internationally for her socially engaged design process that foregrounds the relationships between individuals, communities, and environments. Drawing insight from ecological systems, her analytical and creative approach has produced some of today’s most compelling architecture, including the Aqua Tower, Nature Boardwalk at Lincoln Park Zoo, and Arcus Center for Social Justice Leadership. Her current major projects include an expansion of the American Museum of Natural History in New York and the next United States Embassy in Brasília, Brazil. Committed to working on global and local issues, Jeanne brings design to a wide range of projects beyond architecture's conventional boundaries. She collaborates and innovates with experts across fields on pursuits ranging from the development of stronger materials to fostering stronger communities. Through teaching, speaking, writing, advocacy, and advising, she engages with others to make a positive impact at multiple scales.
