Jeanne Gang is interviewed on The Morning Show with Bob Sirott.
"This year and next, Blue Tin will crowdsource funding to build out a new $2 million home, 63rd House, an adaptive reuse of a 11,250-square-foot post office on the city’s working-class southwest side. The space will become both an economic anchor for the neighborhood and a model for truly sustainable manufacturing and labor practices."
Blue Tin Production works with Chicago Lawn community leaders to envision a hybrid community center and production studio.
"A collaboration with blue tin production and Studio Gang creates two inaugural happenings: an exhibition — A Different Future in the Making: Building Garment Worker Power & a Broader Abolitionist Movement; and Blue Tin Production’s corporate office — 63rd House. A third element includes the opening of Studio Gang’s new gallery space in wicker park where this exhibition debuts. that’s quite an announcement!"
"At the center of the Beloit Powerhouse, Studio Gang's transformation of a former power plant into a student union for Beloit College, is a grand space that formerly housed turbines. Juliane Wolf, partner and design principal at Studio Gang, answered a few questions about the project, which also features a new field house — a contemporary expression, with sawtooth facades covered in translucent panels."
"Through drawings, models, and site-specific installations, the Practice section presents the work of 11 distinguished contemporary architects: Elizabeth Diller, Dorte Mandrup, Mariam Kamar, Anupama Kundoo, Yvonne Farrel and Shelley McNamara, Lina Ghotmeh, Jeanne Gang, Kazuyo Sejima, Benedetta Tagliabue, Lu Wenyu and the multidisciplinary collective Assemble. Together, they showcase the increasing presence and mark of women in architecture."
Jeanne is interviewed by Ambassador Melanne Verveer for her series of 100 conversations with "the world's most inspiring and influential women."
"The surprising uptake of birding as a pandemic hobby, along with social media and data collection tools like eBird and dBird, has created new visibility for bird collisions with glass, which kill as many as 1 billion birds in the U.S. per year. At the same time, a new generation of urban parks has given birds more places to roost in highly populated areas. But something else has followed these parks as well: real estate capital. The vogue for urban parks creates more economic impetus to build shiny buildings with big windows opposite those urban wetlands, glades and groves."
Studio Gang's work on the Chicago River—from Reverse Effect to the WMS Boathouse at Clark Park and Eleanor Boathouse at Park 571—are profiled in this feature for the Women in Architecture issue.
Jeanne and Studio Gang are featured in Buone Nuove: Donne in architettura (Good News: Women in Architecture), a new exhibition at the Museo nazionale delle arti del XXI secolo (MAXXI) that brings together the work of groundbreaking women designers from across history and the globe.

Three Studio Gang projects were selected for the 2021 AN Best of Design Awards.
Rescue Company 2 lauded by the Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute for its use of concrete materials. "The new facility has now become a haven for rescue workers, providing a structurally safe building that can be leveraged for highly complex training sessions while also providing a comfortable and functional workplace."
"In a once-vacant lot on Chicago’s West Side Garfield Park neighborhood, a new outdoor roller rink has made space for kids and adults alike to spend their summer days on eight wheels in a beloved Chicago pastime.
But the rink didn’t appear overnight; nine months prior to its opening, Studio Gang Architects...were tapped to design a community engagement process that would work collaboratively with Garfield Park organizations and residents to generate ideas and feedback on the roller rink."
"With the St. Regis, a turquoise riverfront tower, Studio Gang adds another innovative form to the Chicago skyline."

"When a college president passed a newly decommissioned power plant, he got an idea: Wouldn’t that space make for a great, much needed new campus fieldhouse? The new facility now has a running track, conference facility, batting cages, café, and more."
Join us for the opening of our collaborative exhibition with Blue Tin Production, the first to be held in Studio Gang's new Wicker Park gallery space and a partner program of the Chicago Architecture Biennial.

"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."
