Chicago Art Institute Lecture

  The Community Associates of the Art Institute of Chicago will hold their annual Combined Lecture on Thursday, November 10, 2011 at 11:00AM in the Art Institute’s Rubloff Auditorium.  Speaker for the event is Jeanne Gang , Visionary Architect.

Architect Jeanne Gang is the founder and principal of Studio Gang Architects, and international practice based in Chicago.  Driven by curiosity, intelligence and radical creativity, Jeanne has produced some of today’s  most innovative and award winning architecture.  The transformative potential of her work is exemplified by recent projects such as Aqua Tower, Lincoln Park Zoo South Pond, and Columbia College Chicago’s Media Production Center. As her rapidly growing  practice  approaches its 14th year, Jeanne continues to pursue creating architecture that “reclaims the notion that thrilling and beautiful form can emerge out of the realm of the practical,” as New York critic Paul Goldberger described Aqua.  Her vision for new projects makes this program a not-to-be-be-missed event.
