More prolific than ever, architect Jeanne Gang, the founder of Chicago’s Studio Gang, recently expanded the American Museum of Natural History, inaugurated a new United States Embassy in Brazil and a new Sustainability Commons for Stanford University and continues to take on major projects around the world, including in Toronto, where she has designed the high-rise residence One Delisle.

Known for a distinctive approach that expands beyond architecture’s conventional boundaries, she creates striking places that connect people with their communities and the natural environment. A MacArthur Fellow and a professor in practice at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, Gang has been named one of Time’s most influential people in the world.
