Architect Jeanne Gang is the founder and principal of Studio Gang Architects, an international practice based in Chicago. Driven by curiosity, intelligence, and radical creativity, Jeanne has produced some of today's most innovative and award-winning architecture. The transformative potential of her work is exemplified by such recent projects as the Aqua Tower (named the 2009 Emporis Skyscraper of the Year), Lincoln Park Zoo South Pond, and Columbia College Chicago's Media Production Center. As her rapidly growing practice approaches its 14th year, Jeanne continues to pursue creating architecture that, as The New Yorker critic Paul Goldberger described Aqua, "reclaims the notion that thrilling and beautiful form can emerge out of the realm of the practical." Her vision for new projects will make this program a not-to-be-missed event.
