I found a new category of architects to explore. Starchitects. We’ve already done a few for instance Frank Gehry, Eduardo Souto de Moura, Richard Rogers, Alvaro Siza, and Bjarke Ingels (the first time I heard the word starchitect), later I`m comb through my list and see what other starchitect we`ve covered.
To qualify as a starchitect an architect has to have great fame within the architecture world and potentially one that overflows into the general public’s knowledge. Their work must have wow factor! Jeanne Gang is just one of those architects. Born in Belvidere, Illinois in 1954, Gang studied at the University of Illinois, the Swiss Federal University of Technical Studies, and l’École nationale supérieure d’architecture de Versailles. In 1997 she founded Studio Gang. Gang is one of the most recognized architects of her generation. Her work has earned her many awards.
For every building in these posts, I typically put links to an architecture site for details. This takes a moment! If you do click on the links – let me know and I will continue doing so, otherwise, I might forego that practice.
