Blake Villwock

Blake Villwock is a Design Team Member in Studio Gang’s Chicago office. Drawn to architecture for both its sensorial qualities and capacity for contextual placemaking, Blake has extensive experience in material research, prototyping, and digital fabrication technologies, gained during his time at Barkow Leibinger and Kéré Architecture in Berlin. Blake came to the Studio for its rigorous design process, in particular for its emphasis on weaving together analog and digital technologies and testing materials at multiple scales. He is currently part of the team designing the O’Hare Global Terminal and Global Concourse.

Blake holds a Master of Architecture from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Having lived in Milwaukee, Florida, New Zealand, and Berlin, he is excited to be back in the Midwest and call Chicago home. Outside the office, Blake enjoys boating and driving through the countryside.
