Juliane named among this year's jurors in the architecture category.

'Jeanne Gang, founding principal of architecture and urban design firm Studio Gang, which designed the new Mira condominium, said Gensler's example made it "OK for architects to have a business plan."

"He shared his experience with running a practice with many, including me," said Gang. "I think his positive impact on the San Francisco architecture landscape will be felt for a very long time."'

Assemble Chicago, our design with The Community Builders for the c40 Cities Chicago Loop Competition, is a carbon-neutral, 20-story mixed use building with 207 apartments for our downtown workforce earning as little as minimum wage as well as community-collaborative spaces and a revitalized Pritzker Park.

In the latest episode of this podcast series hosted by Martha Thorne, Dean of IE School of Architecture and Design, Jeanne Gang discusses how to build communities in an increasingly virtual world.

"One Hundred is full of inflections: between downtown and Forest Park, between the city’s past and its future. It serves as a bold new landmark for the Central West End that still subtly responds to the context through its massing, geometry, and materiality. The tower adds to the rich and layered history of its neighborhood while embodying an optimistic outlook for the city of St. Louis."

'Ms. Gang has spoken publicly on how even very tall towers can encourage friendly communities beyond elevator small talk. At Studio Gang’s 82-storey Aqua in Chicago, for example, rippling balconies create sightlines that allow folks to chat with neighbours above and below. At One Delisle, large balconies and smaller ones will create a similar effect, as will the expansive “Ravine Terrace.”'

Now under construction with the support of a $142 million capital campaign, the 133,000-square-foot Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts, today announced the achievement of a major project milestone: completion of the innovative roof—a flowing, folded plate concrete structure, blossoming out to the north and south. Spanning the length of the building, the roofline connects new construction and renovated spaces and expresses AMFA’s new identity. Construction continues to move forward, and the Museum has announced that it will celebrate the public opening in May 2022.

"This eye-popping Jeanne Gang tower with its energetic corkscrew calibrations already has enlivened the skyline. Now the ground level is complete as well – including a broad public staircase leading up from Folsom Street that’s perfect for a socially distanced bag lunch and a pedestrianized Clementina Street (complete with dog park!) by Interstice Architects that will only get better with age."

"As the new northern entrance to Tom Lee Park takes shape at the Cutbank Bluff, Memphis River Parks Partnership celebrates major steps forward as funding and design milestones are hit, powered by significant donations from acclaimed local brands. The $60M capital campaign is more than 80% complete with new funding commitments from leading Memphis-based companies."

The design team will host an presentation of our latest design materials and an update on the ongoing construction:

MIRA has been named a winner for the Real Estate Deal of the Year awards by San Francisco Business Times. "Awards have stacked up for the 392-unit condominium tower since it welcomed its first residents in 2020. And with good reason. Not only does the development at the corner of Spear and Folsom streets near the Embarcadero command attention, it has 40% of its units reserved for people earning less than 80% to 120% of the area median income."

Alex Anderson interviews Harvard Professor in Practice Jeanne Gang about her 2020 GSD studio and highlights student designs which strive to make public parks more inclusive and sustainable to a diverse audience.

Jeanne Gang speaks candidly with Jarrett Fuller about how research drives her practice, how she builds culture at Studio Gang, and how the idea of 'actionable idealism' drives her work.

"When it began working on the elegantly twisting MIRA residential tower in downtown San Francisco, Studio Gang saw an opportunity to add more than just density to the city center. The firm proposed adding 100 extra feet to the project, and using some of the additional space for much-needed affordable housing. City officials unanimously agreed. The recently completed 400-foot high-rise now has 44 more housing units that will remain affordable in perpetuity."

"La starchitecte américaine vient de publier son ouvrage rétrospectif en langue française. Un choix rare, qui permet de rentrer dans l’univers de celle qui a su associer grande et petite échelle, écologie et reconnaissance internationale."

"Designed by Studio Gang, the University of Chicago’s expanded Center in Paris will begin construction in June 2021 to become a state-of-the-art destination for study in a broad range of disciplines."

Speaking with old friend, fellow birder and former Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson for his new podcast Straight Talk, Jeanne describes how she built Studio Gang, her ambitions for carbon sequestration, how we work as a team, and more.

"At the intersection of Colfax Avenue, 14th Street and Court Place lies a triangular parcel that most pedestrians and motorists likely pass by without a glance. Though it may be inconspicuous today, the site’s unique location – across the street from the Denver City and County Building and Civic Center Park and blocks away from the Colorado Convention Center and 16th Street Mall – gives it enormous potential to become a new connective hub for downtown."

Oculus, the publication of AIANY, includes Polis Station as an example of how designers might think about ways for spaces of justice to support development rather than deprivation.

"Part of Gang’s vision was simply reconsidering who these buildings are meant to serve. Police stations can be made smaller, more approachable, and less fortress-like, which creates rapport and trust between citizens and police. Adding basketball courts, WiFi, mental health clinics, and community meeting spaces can help build reliance and legitimacy, and ideally stop someone from entering the justice system entirely."

"Das Thema Energie ist dem Bauwerk erhalten geblieben, aber wo früher Kohle verbrannt wurde, können heute Student*innen Dampf ablassen: Das private Beloit College für Freie Künste in der gleichnamigen Stadt hat dafür zusammen mit Studio Gang (Chicago) das ehemalige Blackhawk-Kraftwerk in ein Lern- und Sportzentrum umgebaut."

"The University of Kentucky offered a glimpse at the coming transformation of a defunct, 145,000-square-foot former tobacco warehouse into the modernized home for the university’s College of Design."

"In the heart of Silicon Valley, where the landscape is dominated by self-contained tech campuses and low-density car-oriented urbanism, a major new development is bringing in a team of world-class architects to add a collection of mixed-use projects to downtown San Jose."

"Her buildings have always been at the cutting edge of technology...allowing the architect to step outside the banal and use artistic imagination as a way of providing real answers to real problems."

"Soaring from the river’s edge, Jeanne Gang’s St. Regis Chicago is one of the most significant additions to the skyline in a generation."

Marking a major milestone in the capital campaign for the new building, today the Arkansas Arts Center officially became the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts.
