  • Eskew enjoys some of the bestand most unlikelystudio space in New Orleans. The firm established its studio on the 31st floor of an office building in 1999. Before that, Eskew occupied the third floor of a riverfront building on the edge of the French Quarter. The difference between a French Market walk-up and Class A office space is smaller than one might think, says Dumez. We really connected to the street and the activity of the French Quarter. We felt the pulse of the city directly. We heard it. We could smell it, he says.

The group is discussing a mixed-use project for Mumbai, India, and debating, specifically, how the projects base will meet the ground. In this session, the group resolved to combine elements from two preliminary models to move forward. Even at an early design stage, Studio Gangs engagement with topography is evident. The first monograph on Studio Gang, Reveal, to be published this month by Princeton Architectural Press, reveals the process behind eight projectsincluding key hometown works such as the Aqua Tower, a residential skyscraper near the Chicago River, and the SOS Childrens Villages in Chicagos reemerging South Side.

  • The production space (with Nogues at left and Ball at right) was empty when photographer Timothy Hursley visited, but it won't be for long. Ball and Nogues will soon begin work on a major new project called Talus Dome, commissioned by the city of Edmonton in Alberta, Canada. "It's an earthwork made out of non-earthwork materials," Ball says. The pieceabout the size of a single-family housewill be fabricated here in sections, then transported to Edmonton and assembled on-site. "It's going to be interesting," Ball laughs.
