Jeanne Gang speaks with Mark magazine about how Studio Gang shaped a space that elevates social justice and welcomes those of all gender identifications:
“When we interviewed Arcus Center staff, Kalamazoo College students, and community organisers, they wanted this important work of social justice to become visible and felt it deserved to come up out of the basement. But at the same time, we thought that introducing the domestic elements of the kitchen, fireplace, and hearth into the centre of the space would help people feel comfortable so they could more easily have conversations about difficult issues.”
