IN CONVERSATION: Join us as Jeanne Gang, one of the most influential architects of our time, discusses her design approach and the work of her architecture and urban design practice Studio Gang-- including their designs of a transformative addition to New York's American Museum of Natural History and Chicago's 101-story St. Regis Tower. Drawing insight from ecological systems, Jeanne Gang creates striking places that connect people with each other, their communities, and the environment.
She'll then be joined by Ann Drake, the founder of the Women's Leadership Center at Williams Bay for an in-depth conversation about Studio Gang's design of the Center's new campus and buildings. Located a stone's throw from Yerkes Observatory, the WLC is under construction and expected to open in 2026. The conversation will be facilitated by Dennis Kois, Yerkes Observatory's Executive Director.
