Jeanne Gang of Studio Gang

Jeanne Gang, founder and principal architect of Studio Gang, is known for her inquisitive, forward-looking approach to design. In this episode, Gang discusses some of the studio’s major projects, including New York City’s Richard Gilder Center for Science, Education, and Innovation and the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts (AMFA). She explains how nature and natural sciences influence her approach to design and describes the ways in which the firm aims to transform original architecture into updated and innovative renovations without a too-heavy hand.

3. Describe Gang’s view on the concept and implementation of “sustainable” architecture.
