Studio Gang Architects’ Aqua Tower in Chicago.

MSD Dean’s Lecture Series 2014

Tuesday October 7, 2014 @ 7pm
Carrillo Gantner Theatre, Sidney Myer Asia Centre, University of Melbourne

Founded by MacArthur Fellow Jeanne Gang in 1997, Studio Gang Architects is a Chicago-based collective of architects, designers, and thinkers whose work engages with contemporary issues and their impact on human experience. Honoured with the 2013 National Design Award for Architecture from the Cooper- Hewitt, National Design Museum, the Studio acts as a laboratory, testing ideas on various scales, from cities and environments to material and physical properties.

Its projects in Chicago include Aqua Tower, whose facade encourages building community in the vertical dimension; Nature Boardwalk at Lincoln Park Zoo, where 14 acres of biodiverse habitat are designed to double as storm water infrastructure and engaging public space; and WMS Boathouse at Clark Park, which creates a new access point along the Chicago River. In addition to creating transformative architecture, Studio Gang is dedicated to employing the tools, methods and visionary capability of design to promote positive change through public engagement and advocacy.
