ABOUT THE DALLAS ARCHITECTURE FORUM

The Dallas Architecture Forum provides a continuing and challenging public discourse on architecture and urban design in – and for – the Dallas area. The Forum offers presentations of architecture through public lectures by designers, critics, and historians; through topical discussions; and through occasional study tours to buildings and cities locally and throughout the world. The Dallas Architecture Forum serves as an inclusive arena where people interested in and concerned with the built environment, non-professionals and professionals alike, may interact intellectually and socially.

Our membership comes from business, development, public affairs, education, the arts and from the design fields.

This mix of interests and ties is one of the strengths we bring to our involvement with architecture. Support for the Forum’s programs is a grassroots effort, coming from membership subscriptions at all levels and from the generous sponsorship of Forum seasons and events. Visit dallasarchitectureforum.org or call 214-764-2406.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER

Jeanne Gang is principal and founder of Studio Gang Architects, a 36-person architecture firm in Chicago, USA that has been recognized for its innovation and leadership in design. Ms. Gang’s work represents a diverse range of building typologies, from large-scale undertakings such as the 82-story Aqua Tower in downtown Chicago, which reconsiders the tall building as a site-specific structure, to the SOS Community Center on Chicago’s South Side, which visibly engages with the distinct material properties of concrete. In all of her projects, Ms. Gang explores new creative territory in materials, technology, and sustainability, and her work with Studio Gang has received national and international awards and recognition.

Ms. Gang’s design in the field of architecture is supported through a mode of working that combines practice, teaching and research. In addition to serving as an adjunct professor at the Illinois Institute of Technology since 1998, she was a visiting professor at the Harvard Design School in 2004, held the Louis I. Kahn visiting professor chair at the Yale College of Architecture in 2005, and was a visiting lecturer at Princeton University’s School of Architecture in 2007. Ms. Gang was also chosen to lecture as one of the Architecture League of New York’s Emerging Voices in the spring of 2006, and she received an Academy Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters in the same year.
