JEANNE GANG, FAIA, FRIBA (1964-)
Gang grew up in Belvidere IL, one of four sisters. She earned a 1986 degree in architecture at the University of Illinois then studied at the ETH Swiss Federal University of Technical Studies in Zurich, Switzerland, and ENSAV in Versailles, France. She earned a Masters in Architecture in 1993 from Harvard then worked with OMA/Rem Koolhaas in Rotterdam from 1993-1995. In 1997 at the age of 33, she founded Studio Gang. The Chicago-based firm has offices in New York, San Francisco, and Paris and specializes in community input, ecological awareness, and knowing when to reuse existing structures and materials instead of building anew. She was named Woman Architect of the Year in 2016 by Architectural Review.
In 2017, Gang was honored with the Louis I. Kahn Memorial Award (Philadelphia Center for Architecture), Fellowship in the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada, and elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. She was elected an International Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) in 2018. Gang wrote two books, Reveal (2011) and Reverse Effect: Renewing Chicago's Waterways (2011) and she edited Studio Gang: Architecture (2020). Research by Catherine Westergaard Cramer.
