Congratulations to Jeanne Gang!

Last year this blog profiled recent work by Studio Gang so it was with particular delight to hear this morning that the firm's founder, Jeanne Gang, was honored with a MacArthur grant for 2011. The so-call "genius grant" is an unrestricted award of $500,000 to individuals who have shown remarkable talent and self-directed vision in their chosen field.
