Jeanne Gang is remembered in technology for work that changed what came after it.
The record lists Jeanne Gang as American architect (born 1964).
Jeanne Gang was born at Belvidere in 1964. Her recorded nationality is the United States. She was educated at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and Harvard University.
Modern careers are conducted in public and at speed, with reputations formed and revised far faster than the work itself changes.
She worked as architect and university teacher.
Her affiliations include Illinois Institute of Technology.
Technology is judged by adoption: an invention nobody uses is a curiosity.
Her recorded fields of work are architecture, urbanism and architectural project.
Her work was formally recognised with the MacArthur Fellows Program, Women in Architecture Forum & Awards and Fellow of the American Institute of Architects.
Working from the United States shaped what was possible - the audiences within reach, the institutions that would have her, the language the work first appeared in.
Jeanne Gang is still at work, and the final assessment has not been made - the ordinary condition of a living career.
