ABOUT THE SPEAKER



Jeanne Gang is principal and founder of Studio Gang Architects, a 36- 
person architecture firm in Chicago, USA that has been recognized for  
its innovation and leadership in design. Ms. Gang’s work represents a  
diverse range of building typologies, from large-scale undertakings  
such as the 82-story Aqua Tower in downtown Chicago, which reconsiders  
the tall building as a site-specific structure, to the SOS Community  
Center on Chicago’s South Side, which visibly engages with the  
distinct material properties of concrete. In all of her projects, Ms.  
Gang explores new creative territory in materials, technology, and  
sustainability, and her work with Studio Gang has received national  
and international awards and recognition.

Ms. Gang’s design in the field of architecture is supported through a  
mode of working that combines practice, teaching and research. In  
addition to serving as an adjunct professor at the Illinois Institute  
of Technology since 1998, she was a visiting professor at the Harvard  
Design School in 2004, held the Louis I. Kahn visiting professor chair  
at the Yale College of Architecture in 2005, and was a visiting  
lecturer at Princeton University’s School of Architecture in 2007. Ms.  
Gang was also chosen to lecture as one of the Architecture League of  
New York’s Emerging Voices in the spring of 2006, and she received an  
Academy Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters in the  
same year.

ABOUT THE DALLAS ARCHITECTURE FORUM



The Dallas Architecture Forum provides a continuing and challenging  
public discourse on architecture and urban design in - and for - the  
Dallas area. The Forum offers presentations of architecture through  
public lectures by designers, critics, and historians; through topical  
discussions; and through occasional study tours to buildings and  
cities locally and throughout the world. The Dallas Architecture Forum  
serves as an inclusive arena where people interested in and concerned  
with the built environment, non-professionals and professionals alike,  
may interact intellectually and socially.



Our membership comes from business, development, public affairs,  
education, the arts and from the design fields.



This mix of interests and ties is one of the strengths we bring to our  
involvement with architecture. Support for the Forum's programs is a  
grassroots effort, coming from membership subscriptions at all levels  
and from the generous sponsorship of Forum seasons and events. Visit  
dallasarchitectureforum.org or call 214-764-2406.
