John Hill (of the Doses.. the daily and the weekly) compiles the winners of 2004 Chicago AIA Awards, picking out "some relatively unknown gems." And Studio Gang wins big. Look. | AIA Chicago Excellence site
Correction TED, Studio Gang/O'Donnell (now Studio Gang Architects) did the Starlight Theater in Rockford. As it clearly says on the website. Studio Gang did the marble curtain in D.C. I should know. I did that project for them.
Same goes for CASL, Chinese American Service League Building in Chinatown. Studio Gang/O'Donnell (now Studio Gang Architects) as it says on the website.
Ms. O'Donnell contacted me about my oversight on creditting her on those two jobs, which I promptly corrected. I did not inquire into her current situation in my reply, but if anybody wants to find out I can pass along her e-mail address.
gallonegro, yes the curtain was not gang/odonnell. but who care if it is [now studio gang architects!] after all we can say 900/910 N. lake shore drive, Mies van der rohe [now lohan anderson architects]....right?
if your going to say something say what you mean, and mean what you say. just pointing out a slight faux pas that may give the impression that we're still talking about the same firm just minus odonnell. After the split i haven't heard anything about odonnell, but jeanne has been better off. just give credit where credit is due. And no, lohan is no mies. So to say that mies is lohan anderson now is as ludicrous as comparing gang and odonnell. John's post earlier proves my point.
"where is o'donnell now? did she start her own firm or go back to SOM?"
Who cares?
my only point is that as with the mies / lohan issue, it is completely irrelivant who they are now with regard who did the building. it was Studio Gang/O'Donnell who did those 2 buildings - period.
as you dont know odonell nor didnt work on those projects to credit gang for those projects is simply bit niave on your part. and clearly as you stated in your post on 'who to work for' 'gang is better off' as by your own admission she obviously continues to abuse employees by either underpaying or not paying student labor via iit. funny, i didnt see your name credited by gang on the curtain project? someday when you are out of school, you will appreciate that comment.
i heard odonell won a competition europe and is hanging there, but who cares.
all right TED, true about who did the buildings. Thanx, I am out of school and can appreciate your comment now. Your right. I didn't feel expoited after my experience there but also, the fact I no longer am there is testimony to the fact that like you said her success ultimately comes at the cost to someone. As to O'Donnell my comment wasn't to knock her or her work. Yet, this thread began regarding Chicago AIA awards. Not European competitions or where are they now sort of issues.
