Thanh Nguyen

Thanh Nguyen is a Design Team Member in Studio Gang’s San Francisco office. Thanh first encountered the Studio during her first year of architecture school, when she attended a lecture by Jeanne and was struck by the rigor and thoughtfulness of the office’s work. Today she is excited to be part of the Studio’s working process, especially the development and execution of materials and structure, as she contributes to large-scale civic projects.

Thanh earned her Bachelor of Architecture degree from Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, where she found that architecture holds particular meaning for her in its abilities to heighten our experience of the physical world and act as a canvas where social dynamics play out. She grew up in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and has since come to call Ithaca—and now San Francisco—home. Reading, rock climbing, and film photography are her favorite ways to spend time outside the office.
