Fast Company Names Studio Gang Most Innovative Company in Architecture for 2020
For the third year in a row, Fast Company names Studio Gang to the world’s most innovative companies of 2020 in architecture. Ranking Studio Gang at #1, Fast Company highlights the Studio’s wide range of sustainable architecture and civic projects.
“Certain stalwarts caught our attention for their thoughtful approaches to reducing architecture’s impact on the environment. The building and construction industry generates an estimated 39% of all carbon emissions worldwide. We were also impressed by the architects behind such novel projects as natural swimming pools, large timber buildings, and heat-regulating software.
1. STUDIO GANG ARCHITECTS
For building with cities, not for them
Gang’s influence on community-based design tends to be overlooked and underappreciated. 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.”
