Alissa Anderson

Alissa Anderson (she/her) is Principal of Publications and Exhibitions at Studio Gang. With the Studio since 2009, she works closely with Jeanne Gang and others to develop books, writing, exhibitions, research, and related initiatives that share the Studio’s work and ideas with a variety of audiences. With Archivist and Librarian Andi Altenbach, she also helps curate and interpret the Studio’s growing collection of models, sketches, and other design records—now on display in the Chicago office's new Visible Archive.

Alissa led the curation and design of Studio Gang: Mock-Ups and A Different Future in the Making, the first exhibitions in the Chicago office's new Gallery, along with the Studio's contribution to MAXXI's Buone Nuove exhibition. Her most recent editorial project is the monograph Studio Gang: Architecture, published by Phaidon in French (2021) and English (2020). Past projects include the books Reveal, Reverse Effect, and Building, and the Studio’s two exhibitions for the 16th International Venice Architecture Biennale. She also works directly with design teams on research and communication.

Alissa holds a master’s degree in Critical, Curatorial, and Conceptual Practices in Architecture (CCCP) from the Columbia University GSAPP and a Bachelor of Arts with honors in English and Creative Writing from Northwestern University. Outside the office, she pursues her own writing and research and is a former editor of the Avery Review.
