About Gregg Garmisa

After close to two decades in the design community, in 2014 I was proud to join my friends at Studio Gang Architects as Principal and General Counsel. Under MacArthur Fellow Jeanne Gang\'s leadership, the studio continues to be an innovator in sustainable practices and material experimentation. With a historically landmarked home base in Chicago, an expanded studio in New York, new offices in San Francisco and Paris, and a growing collaborative of extremely talented colleagues, Studio Gang is poised to strengthen its impact in the built, urban and natural environments, on a global scale.
