Our culture reflects the city itself: collaborative, ambitious, pragmatic, and deeply invested in craft. Architects, designers, planners, strategists, and technical experts work side by side in an open, entrepreneurial environment where ideas are strengthened across disciplines and people at every level help shape the work.

We contribute through pro bono design, volunteer service, and support for organizations including Humble Design, the Greater Chicago Food Depository, and Project Color Corps. Our deep industry involvement includes active engagement with the ACE Mentor Program, AIA, NOMA, IIDA, and other organizations that develop emerging talent, advance the design professions, and strengthen Chicago’s creative community.

Our Chicago office is home to design leaders and specialists whose expertise shapes projects across the United States and around the world. Through collaboration across Gensler’s global network, our teams contribute research, technical knowledge, and creative leadership to complex projects while bringing international perspectives back to our work in Chicago.

Chicago’s architectural tradition challenges us to contribute work that is thoughtful, enduring, and distinctly of its time. We bring rigorous craft, technical excellence, and a deep understanding of the city’s urban fabric to every project, whether extending the life of a familiar landmark, adding to the skyline, or creating places that enrich everyday city life.
