NEWNOWNEXT is a series of public talks curated by the Irish Architecture Foundation in collaboration with Arup, revealing current and next generation ideas and architects from across the globe.

Jeanne Gang is founder and principal of Studio Gang Architects, a Chicago-based collective best known for the 82-story Aqua Tower, the tallest building in the world designed by a woman-owned firm. Jeanne seeks to respond to and reframe questions that lie locally and resound globally.  Her work with Studio Gang has been published and exhibited widely, most notably at the Venice Architecture Biennale, MoMA and the Art Institute of Chicago.
