Collaborative design processes are baked into their practice, which draws on the active participation of Principals Hank Koning, Julie Eizenberg, Brian Lane and Nathan Bishop to create architecture that promotes sustainable neighborhoods. Indeed, their unique approach to myriad programatic types can equally be attributed to a design and technical team who are similarly invested in humanist values and environmental agenda.

odd+architects
Jury Winner, 2021 A+Awards, Architecture +Brick
Jury Winner, 2021 A+Awards, Architecture +Stairs

The designs of this Ecuador-based design studio are found at the intersection of architecture, landscape, urbanism and culture. Though a process akin to ecological anthropology, they study the relationships that emerge through cultural adaptation within various geographies. In this way, they strive to create architecture that is not only highly contextual, but that is also integrated with its natural surroundings. This relationship between landscape and built form is on full display at A House in the Andes, where carving access areas through the mounds exposes rammed earth walls, mimicking the ancestral ‘Chaquiñán’ – a system of trails used by the ancient Andeans.

Jury Winner, 2021 A+Awards, Multi Unit Housing – High Rise (16+ Floors)

Studio Gang has produced some of the most striking architecture in America over the past decade. When it comes to innovative textural façades that add movement — even rhythm —to the urban environment, Studio Gang truly is a leader in the field. Projects such as One Hundred, Solar Carve and Aqua Tower have pushed the bounds of the skyscraper typology by rethinking the role of sunlight in façade design, tower siting and massing. Ever the versatile firm, the adaptive reuse of a former coal plant for Beloit College Powerhouse and and the geological massing of the Richard Gilder Center at New York’s Museum of Natural History further underline the eminence of this Chicago-headquartered practice.
