Tom Lee Park, the newly transformed, 31-acre riverfront park in downtown Memphis, opened on September 2, 2023. Designed in collaboration with SCAPE, the new urban park is one of the Studio’s most significant civic projects to date. Situated on the banks of the Mississippi River, Tom Lee Park strengthens the connection between downtown Memphis and the river as well as restores the area’s ecology by responding to the river’s dynamic ecosystems.

We are excited to announce the return of Gia Biagi, who rejoins the Studio as Principal of Urbanism. In this new role, she will lead the Studio’s growing portfolio of planning and urban design work, which unites an emphasis on ecology and revitalizing cities with a renewed focus on how to reimagine public assets, institutions, and neighborhoods to be more relevant, connected, and responsive to their communities.

Studio Gang, in collaboration with Polk Stanley Wilcox, will design a major expansion of the Clinton Presidential Center in Little Rock, Arkansas. The proposed expansion will enhance the Clinton Center’s ability to host exhibitions, convene global leaders, and provide educational opportunities. It will also include the new Hillary Rodham Clinton Institute, which will be a dedicated home for the Former U.S. Secretary of State’s personal archive as well as serve as a hub for her non-profit and advocacy work.

Studio Gang, alongside SCAPE and Atelier Ten, have been selected to design the new Stanford Sustainability Commons. The Sustainability Commons, located on the west side of the University's Palo Alto campus, will serve as the new home for the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability - Stanford's first new school in 70 years.

Jeanne was profiled on CBS Sunday Morning, where she and Martha Teichner discussed how projects like Gilder Center for Science, Education, and Innovation, The Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts, and the 101-story St. Regis Chicago connect people to each other, to their communities, and to nature.

The Gilder Center for Science, Education, and Innovation will officially open to the public in May 4, 2023! At the time of urgent need for better public understanding of science and greater access to science education, our design for this latest addition to New York's historic American Museum of Natural History forms a fluid landscape that heightens visitors’ sense of discovery and wonder.

Join Adam Nathaniel Furman, editor of the recent book, Queer Spaces: An Atlas of LGBTQIA+ Places & Stories (2022), to hear about their career as a queer British Argentine-Japanese artist, academic, and designer. Adam will share insights into how they carved a queer path through the heteronormative conventions of architectural practice and what the future holds for queer spaces around the world.

Trained in architecture and based in London, Adam’s atelier works in spatial design and art of all scales from videos and prints to large public artworks, architecturally integrated ornament, as well as products, furniture, interiors, publishing, and academia.

New York Times architecture critic Michael Kimmelman shares his perspective on our design for the Richard Gilder Center for Science, Education, and Innovation at the American Museum of Natural History.

"Gilder is spectacular: a poetic, joyful, theatrical work of public architecture and a highly sophisticated flight of sculptural fantasy. [It] seems destined to be an instant heartthrob and colossal attraction.

And for a meaningful portion of its user base, the part that hasn’t yet finished middle school, I expect it will simply be, like so much else at the museum, awesome."

How can architecture and design serve as a catalyst for transformation and facilitate positive change within communities? Jeanne shares her perspective with Liz Glazer in the latest issue of Vital City.

From effective strategies for community engagement to affirming a “Civic Commons” for all, from de-siloing bureaucracy and identifying the need for “urban ecologists” in city administration, from designing spaces with programmatic flexibility to Studio Gang’s ethos of “actionable idealism,” this wide-ranging discussion is well worth a few minutes of your day.

Across our offices, we came together as a Studio to screen the urgent and essential documentary Coextinction.

Coextinction follows filmmakers Gloria Pancrazi and Elena Jean as they expose what it will take to save the last 73 Southern Resident orcas from extinction. Ultimately, their findings reveal how the orcas’ endangerment is tied to several factors including the collapse of wild salmon populations, increasing noise pollution from container ships and small crafts, and centuries of injustice against Indigenous peoples. It’s a story about coextinction.

We were honored to be joined for a post-screening Q&A with Coextinction co-director Gloria Pancrazi. Learn more and discover where you can watch Coextinction.
