Wang Architects

Celebrating the 150 year anniversary of the Chicago HIstory Museum, Wang was commissioned to design a traveling exhibit honoring 150 of the most influential figures in Chicago's history. The first installation took place at the museum itself. 

​

Hundreds of Chicago public school students submitted essays nominating candidates of their choosing. Of the hundred and fifty chosen, many were political leaders, spiritual leaders, and community leaders.

​

Students whose essays were chosen were photographed holding an image of their historic role models, representing our young hope for the future. 

​

This project was completed while Gary Wang was an Associate Professor of Architecture at Judson University. It was a collaboration between Mr. Wang as architect of Record, and with Louisiana State University students.
