"Gang’s philosophy leans heavily on community input, ecological awareness, and knowing when to reuse existing structures and materials instead of building anew," writes Nate Berg in the October cover story, the first featuring an architect in more than a decade.

"l’Américaine francophone et francophile (elle a notamment étudié l’architecture à Versailles) dont ce sera la première réalisation française a voulu travailler la pierre locale avec des colonnades évoquant les cathédrales tandis que les Français de Parc architectes ont utilisé abondamment la terre cuite que l’on retrouve souvent à Chicago."

Thorsten will present Assemble Chicago as one of two case studies for the inaugural public programming under the Museum's new collaboration with C40 Cities, entitled "Reinventing Cities."

"Studio Gang makes aesthetically-striking, intellectually rigorous buildings and landscapes. An affinity with nature, an ostensible emphasis on wildness, runs through the meticulously designed civic buildings, urban landscapes, skyscrapers and temporary installations created by the 20-year-old Chicago-headquartered practice lead by architect and MacArthur fellow Jeanne Gang."

'With a steady pace that has escalated over the last five years, downtown has been pulsing back to vitality. Two ambitious new projects by leading architecture firms are at the forefront of the renaissance, using design to lift Memphis’s image in the eyes of its citizens and the outside world. In a city where the gap between rich and poor, white and Black, can seem to yawn as wide as the river, the architects behind the projects cite their ambition to bind Memphians together. . . . Both [Jeanne] Gang and [Kate] Orff [of SCAPE] expressed enthusiasm about reorienting the city to the river, which was long viewed as a place for commercial, not recreational, activities. “It was exciting to think about reconnecting with it and making it accessible to all,” Gang said.'

Assemble Chicago is highlighted as one of two case studies in the National Building Museum's upcoming programming on Climate Change, developed in partnership with c40.

A ceremonial groundbreaking launches the expansion of the new Center, which aims to serve as an important regional hub for ambitious education, research, and collaboration across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. The expanded facility, designed by Studio Gang in collaboration with ICADE and PARC Architectes, will nearly triple the size of the current center to accommodate increased demand among faculty, students, alumni, and partners to study, conduct research, and convene in Paris.

"Studio Gang has revealed 63rd House, its design for Blue Tin Production's new manufacturing studio in the heart of Chicago’s southwest side."

"The former power plant is now generating a more energetic and vibrant community life," writes the leading Korean architecture publication in issue no.416 (2021-6/6), focused on "the adaptive reuse of industrial heritage buildings."

We are pleased to announce that our first building in Europe has reached its highest point, marked by the ceremonial hoisting of the letter Q to the top of Quartz, our under-construction residential tower in Amsterdam.

Rinnovare la longevità degli edifici industriali nel tessuto urbano è l’obiettivo di Jeanne Gang , che trasforma una centrale elettrica a carbone nella contea di Wisconsin negli Usa, in una cittadella degli studi E crea un nuovo equilibrio tra spazi per la ricreazione e il benessere degli studenti: «Questo progetto è una dimostrazione di come sia possibile conservare e reinventare i manufatti esistenti per limitare gli sprechi»

"Work on a $60 million project to overhaul a long-neglected stretch of Memphis, Tennessee’s Mississippi River waterfront is moving swiftly. Begun in 2019, the transformation of the 30-acre Tom Lee Park into a public gathering space and resilient stormwater barrier is unfolding according to a master plan by Chicago’s Studio Gang and landscape and park design by New York’s SCAPE. Now, the redevelopment has gained another notable contributor: artist, educator, and urbanist Theaster Gates."

Studio Gang signs onto 1.5oC COP26 Communiqué, specifying that:

"We are taking specific actions that fully harness our capacity to affect significant carbon emissions reductions in order to retain a 67% or better probability of meeting the Paris Agreement's 1.5ºC budget of 340-400 GTCO2; a 50-65% emissions reduction by 2030, and zero CO2 emissions by 2040.

The built environment is the largest source of the world's carbon emissions with buildings responsible for approximately 40%, and when accounting for the embodied carbon of building interiors, systems, and associated infrastructure, that percentage is substantially higher. Our professions and industries are transforming and taking significant action to mitigate and adapt to climate change. By showing what is possible, we are emboldening others to do the same.

We call on all sovereign governments to ramp up their Nationally Determined Contributions, and 2030 emissions reduction targets, to limit planetary warming in line with the remaining global 1.5ºC carbon budget."

Artist and Studio collaborator Theaster Gates will create a site-specific, public installation within our design with SCAPE for Tom Lee Park.
