ABC7's Tanja Babich sat down with world-renowned architect Jeanne Gang for an exclusive interview.
Architect Jeanne Gang 's formidable list of accomplishments and accolades have cemented her reputation as one of the premier architects in Chicago and around the world.
When Gang designed the Aqua Tower on the Chicago River, it was, at the time, the tallest building in the world designed by a woman. She has since beaten her own record with the construction of the St. Regis Chicago, where the river meets Lake Michigan. But her buildings' specs aren't nearly as important as the purpose her designs serve.
Today, nature and community drive the architectural designs that have won Gang acclaim, and some of her best work is in Chicago. Meanwhile, a pass-through at the base of the skyscraper ensures the Chicago River is easily accessed by all. The action part is really getting it done. Not just leaving it as a study in a book, but trying to make it happen
