Time<\/a><\/em> magazine has named Jeanne Gang<\/a>, founding principal of her eponymous architecture and urban design firm Studio Gang, in its 2019 Time 100 most influential people list. The 55-year-old is the only architect on the list.<\/p>\n

Time\u2019s 100 list recognizes the activism, innovation, and achievement of the world\u2019s most influential individuals.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor Jeanne, architecture is not just a wondrous object. It is a catalyst for change,\u201d wrote award-winning American actress and playwright Anna Deavere Smith in her entry. \u201cHer sleek, woody boathouses are helping to revive the polluted Chicago River by filtering runoff organically. Her Polis Station concept aims to improve the way civilians interact with law enforcement by fusing police stations with civic recreational centers.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to a statement on Studio Gang\u2019s website, this recognition represents another milestone in an already historic year for Gang. In January, she announced her first project in France, a new Center for the University of Chicago<\/a> in Paris. She was also selected as the lead architect of the new global terminal and concourse at O\u2019Hare International Airport<\/a>, Chicago. At 204,387 m2<\/sup> (2.2 million sf), it will be her largest project to date.<\/p>\n

With her award-winning built work, Gang is recognized for advancing the aesthetic, ecological, and technical possibilities of architecture. Currently a professor in practice at Harvard\u2019s Graduate School of Design (GSD), she has taught design studios on the re-use of concrete buildings and the design of resilient social infrastructure as part of hurricane recovery efforts.<\/p>\n

Gang has also challenged the status quo in professional practice by closing the gender wage gap in her company and encouraging her colleagues to follow suit and achieve pay equity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
