"This month we again salute the creative talents who represent the best of the best. . . Good design knows no borders, so the blue-chip firms hailed on the following pages embody an international fellowship of trailblazers and standard-bearers whose work is as inspiring as it is influential."

Five Studio Gang projects were selected for the 2019 AN Best of Design Awards.

Solar Carve (40 Tenth Ave) is in the running to win Curbed's best NYC building of 2019. Vote here.

"'We wanted to show how a building could be a good neighbor,' Jeanne Gang tells RECORD of her firm’s new speculative office building beside the High Line in New York, called Solar Carve."

"À Paris, elle va bâtir le nouveau centre de l'Université de Chicago. Son credo : le respect de l'environnement. Rencontre avec une « starchitecte » très engagée."

"What makes this geometrically intricate building unique is its modular facade system, 'made up of families of units that repeat every 11 floors.' This results in the curtain wall’s white panels twisting effect."

"'Actionable idealism,' said Jeanne Gang on the morning of Thursday, November 20. 'We want to create a world where big ideas can be articulated, but at the same time, they can be done in our lifetime.' The Chicago-based architect used this concept as the thesis for her keynote speech at Greenbuild, the U.S. Green Building Council’s (USGBC) annual conference, held this year in Atlanta."

"Touted by boosters as an eco-friendly alternative to concrete and steel, with a tactile warmth that theoretically makes for a more nurturing workplace, large buildings of structural timber have developed a cult following. . . The most visually striking of the projects will be the one at California College of the Arts."

What if skyscrapers can be porous connectors, rather than barriers, for the public realm?⁠ Studio Gang's case study explores how Vista Tower works to create new connections in the city.

"Sur les bords du lac Michigan, aux Etats-Unis, l’édifice qui culmine à 363 m sera livré l’année prochaine. La tour, qui sera la troisième plus haute de Chicago, soigne aussi son rapport au sol. L’édifice se soulève en son centre pour libérer un passage pour les promeneurs."

Longtime collaborator and Structural Engineer Peter Heppel joins Studio Gang as a Technology Fellow.

"Mission Rock Building F, as it’s called, looks like that slightly askew stack of books on your desk. It’s mammoth but warm—and fun. It is, in a word, lovely."

"This year offers a trail through some of Chicago’s finest theatres, a visit to Frank Lloyd Wright’s Unity Temple, and plenty of the projects that are defining the ambitions of the city today such as Studio Gang’s Eleanor Boathouse at Park 571."
