Published by Phaidon, Studio Gang: Architecture is a new monograph that captures the Studio’s pursuit of bold, optimistic architecture through an in-depth exploration of 25 signature projects and the resonant concepts that connect them.

Three projects designed by Studio Gang have won four 2020 Architizer A+ Awards, which recognize the best architecture, spaces, and products from across the globe.

"Rising 400 feet above the rapidly developing neighborhood between SoMa and the Embarcadero, Mira dazzles with a twisting curtain-wall façade—something of a technical masterpiece."

Jeanne Gang speaks to Los Angeles Times writer Carolina A. Miranda about how a monument to Chicago's labor history could reveal and memorialize an important history tied to the city's architecture.

The Los Angeles Times includes Studio Gang's 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale installation Stone Stories in a commentary on the evolution of civic monuments.

"As I walk north on the trail, a contemporary grey stone building rises like a series of undulating waves. It’s the WMS Boathouse, designed by local architectural star Jeanne Gang, opened in 2013 as part of the city’s ongoing efforts to revitalize the riverfront."

Four Studio Gang projects are finalists in the 8th Annual Architizer A+ Popular Choice Awards. Cast your vote today for Solar Carve (40 Tenth Ave); the Richard Gilder Center for Science, Education, and Innovation; Rescue Company 2; and MIRA.

"The twisted and curved windows that form the exterior of Mira are intended to be a reinterpretation of the city's bay windows. Inside, they offer views of San Francisco Bay and the Bay Bridge that connects to Oakland."

"Studio Gang has been developing the strategy of solar carving for years as a way to enhance connectivity in tall buildings. . . . [Solar Carve] is sculpted at the angle of the sun in order to preserve solar exposure on the adjacent High Line Park."

"From the Bay Bridge or the Embarcadero, the 39-story Mira at the corner of Folsom and Spear streets is a flowing stack of tightly wound white metal bays, frozen in motion."

Jeanne Gang joins an esteemed panel of judges to select the winners of the 2020 Gray Awards, an international, cross-disciplinary design awards program celebrating today's most innovative design ideas.

"Helmed by architect Jeanne Gang, the firm devises structures that are visually spectacular and environmentally aware."

"Not only do Vista’s interconnected high-rises . . . step exultantly up to the tallest, ultrathin member of the trio. The three stems appear to curve inward and outward as they rise, evoking the infinite verticality of sculptor Constantin Brancusi’s Endless Column."

"Studio Gang’s new monograph . . . models how firms can break this boundary with a legible catalogue that strings together the important milestones without leaving anyone behind."

"With an eye-catching design by Chicago architect Jeanne Gang and cutting-edge technologies on par with next-generation airports popping up around the world, the new terminal would bring O'Hare up to 21st-century standards."

"This last item isn’t a tower project, but we’d feel bad not giving mad props to Chicago design firm Studio Gang for its 2018 plan to adapt the former intake facility for the Seaholm Power Plant on the shores of Lady Bird Lake into a venue and community park space."

"Much more than an aesthetic flourish, the glass gradient represents both an achievement in building material advancement and a step forward in energy-efficiency, two areas of architecture that Vista Tower's design principal, Juliane Wolf (ARCH ’01), has been pursuing her entire career."

"In the professional practice several prominent architectural offices have embarked in the pay-gap closing journey, following the example of Jeanne Gang."

In the final chapter of Studio Gang's new monograph with Phaidon, Jeanne Gang asks what new kinds of glass architecture become possible when our ambitions expand beyond transparency and embrace “a culture of care.”⁠

"Studio Gang’s award-winning WMS Boathouse at Clark Park appears like a village of Shingle Style houses imported from Cape Cod, compressed into larger structures generating jigsaw rooflines."
