"A Chicago architect renowned for her sublime engineering makes buildings that really work for New Yorkers."

Studio Gang's Gilder Center at the American Museum of Natural History was selected as a winner in the 67th Annual Progressive Architecture Awards, recognizing how the project uses design to draw connections between individual users and the communities around it.

"The studio did notable work this year on an architectural level—think Solar Carve, the Memphis Riverfront, California College of the Arts—but it is also behind pioneering projects involving civic engagement and the future of cities, such as Tom Lee Park, a public park in Memphis, Tenn., and a carbon-neutral county government building in Redwood City, Calif."

"The undulating extension will sit at the heart of the ten-building campus, creating approximately 30 new connections between the existing buildings as well as a vast new series of modern galleries, breathing new life into a sprawling complex."

The Governor’s Forest Management Task Force and the Office of Planning and Research announced California College of the Arts as a winner of a first-ever competition designed to highlight a category of engineered wood products known as mass timber.

The Gilder Center at the American Museum of Natural History received High Commendation in the Cultural Regeneration category for the 2020 AR Future Projects Awards by MIPIM and The Architectural Review.

"The frustums inspired Studio Gang to explore new glass. The units in the wider portions of the building have different thermal performance than the units in the narrower portions, says Juliane Wolf, a Studio Gang design principal and partner."

"Reconnecting the currently incoherent sections of the center is the crown jewel of the project: a thin folded-plate concrete structure, dubbed the 'blossom.' It runs atop the center from the north to the south and reaches into MacArthur Park, offering a new axis of connectivity."

Design Principal and Partner Weston Walker will jury the 2020 AIA Austin Design Awards, a program which recognizes compelling projects that focus on sustainability.

"NYC Audubon welcomes this beautiful new ecology-minded structure. It may serve as an inspiring example for future bird-friendly design, as it includes many features now required in all new construction in the City, thanks to new legislation recently passed by the New York City Council."

"Jeanne Gang’s firm, Studio Gang, has produced some of the most striking architecture in America over the past decade. . . When it comes to innovative textural façades that add movement — even rhythm —to the urban environment, Gang truly is a leader in the field."

"C’est surtout une parfaite illustration de son travail d’architecte: l’art de jongler avec les contraintes, d’apporter des solutions technologiques sans oublier l’approche artistique."

Fast Company highlights Jeanne Gang's upcoming talk at Design Indaba 2020 in Cape Town, South Africa.

"The Ford Calumet Environmental Center, a 2008 proposal by Studio Gang, SCAPE, and Site Design Group that uses nest-making as a model for industrial reuse—a ribbon-like mesh of salvaged steel rebar encloses a porch and prevents birds from reaching a transparent glass facade—[is an example] of creative approaches to bird-friendly design."

"An expanded area honoring the legacy of park namesake Tom Lee would join a centrally located cluster of multipurpose athletic courts and a nature area with a tower on the river at the 30-acre park’s south end."

"The powerhouse project, which includes LEED certification and geothermal systems, also 'reanimated a once tarnished river edge to a new center focused around community, health and wellness,' Anke Meyer, one of the judges of the [World Architecture Festival] competition wrote."
