help Jeanne Gang FAQ

Why are Aqua Tower's balconies so famous?

Aqua Tower in Chicago is known for its rippling concrete balconies, which vary from floor to floor and make the facade look fluid. Jeanne Gang and Studio Gang used those balconies for views, shading, and social connection, not only for visual effect.

What is Jeanne Gang's firm called?

Her firm is Studio Gang, founded in Chicago in 1997. It has since worked on towers, cultural buildings, civic projects, and ecological design work in the United States and abroad.

Is Jeanne Gang also the architect behind the St. Regis Chicago?

Yes. The St. Regis Chicago, originally known as Vista Tower, is a Studio Gang project and is one of the most prominent skyscrapers on Chicago's riverfront.

What Studio Gang project shows her environmental approach at a smaller scale?

The Nature Boardwalk at Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago is a good example. Completed around 2010, it turned a pond edge into a public ecological landscape rather than treating sustainability as only a building-system issue.
