The third thematic chapter in Studio Gang’s upcoming monograph with Phaidon, Toward Terrestrial, is made up of projects where architecture learns from and merges with nature.
As Jeanne Gang explains in this short film, going ‘toward terrestrial’ means learning lessons from how nature constructs things and how architecture can work to build stronger relationships among people, other species, and our shared environment.
Studio Gang: Architecture is now available for purchase at an independent bookstore near you, or online at Phaidon.
“After all, as we all know, to experiment is to take risks, to open oneself to the vagaries of the unknown and the unpredictable. A bit like cycling through the streets of Chicago perhaps? One thing’s for sure: without experimentation there is no discovery; and Jeanne Gang, who founded this New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Paris-based practice twenty years ago, has discovered a lot.”
In a short film illustrating recurring themes of pattern and rhythm in Studio Gang’s work, Jeanne Gang highlights one of the threads of inquiry explored in Studio Gang: Architecture, a new monograph published by Phaidon.
