Studio Gang

Founded and led by Jeanne Gang, Studio Gang is an architecture and urban design practice headquartered in Chicago with offices in New York, San Francisco, and Paris.

We help people, organizations, and cities design their futures.

The Studio’s First Built Project in Paris Opens!

The University of Chicago John W. Boyer Center in Paris is a new hub for scholarship and cultural exchange in the rapidly developing Paris Rive Gauche neighborhood of the 13th arrondissement. Built atop a compact site that spans an active railway, the architecture gives rise to a gracious campus environment where intellectual work is enlivened with social activity and biodiverse habitat.

Jeanne Gang’s new book, The Art of Architectural Grafting, is here!

Actionable Idealism

We want to live in a world where people actively support one another as part of our planet’s greater network of living things. We believe that as architects, we have a critical role to play in creating places that support environmental resiliency, foster equity and justice, and empower historically marginalized communities.

Establishing a Vibrant Indoor-Outdoor Environment for Learning and Making

Verde, our mixed-use addition to the Mission Rock neighborhood, creates a “community topography,” with public activation at ground level that continues upward, enabling residents to connect with nature and each other.

Encouraging Exploration at a Historic Museum

At the time of urgent need for better public understanding of science and greater access to science education, our design for the Richard Gilder Center for Science, Education, and Innovation, the latest addition to New York’s historic American Museum of Natural History forms a fluid landscape that heightens visitors’ sense of discovery and wonder.
