‘Figure-phare de la scène architecturale de Chicago, Jeanne Gang s’est fait un nom en devenant la femme qui a construit la plus haute tour du monde. Reconnaissable aux balcons blancs ondulants qui sculptent son profil, son Aqua Tower trône depuis 2010 en lisière du Millennium Park, en plein cœur du Loop, le vibrant quartier des affaires de Chicago. Avec la Vista Tower, sortie de terre dans son dos depuis quelques mois, l’architecte est en passe de battre son propre record.’
Jeanne Gang profiled in the Ideas section of French newspaper Le Monde.
Jeanne Gang speaks with L’Architecture d’Aujourd’hui following her recognition as Woman Architect of the Year by the Architectural Review.
“Change isn’t happening fast enough for women in architecture says Jeanne Gang, who suggests that all firms should be set a target to close their gender pay gap.”
Jeanne Gang named among 100 most influential people of 2019 by TIME Magazine.
“For Jeanne, architecture is not just a wondrous object. It’s a catalyst for change. Her sleek, woody boathouses are helping to revive the polluted Chicago River by filtering runoff organically. Her Polis Station concept aims to improve the way civilians interact with law enforcement by fusing police stations with civic recreational centers.”
