JGMA

JGMA is an architecture and design firm that aims to enhance the lives of people in urban communities by transforming space and materiality, promoting active participation in the architectural process. We believe in the power of design to shape civic life and transcend boundaries. Our team of designers at JGMA sees themselves as design innovators. We are committed to finding the most innovative solutions to every design challenge. Our team is conceptually driven, but that does not mean we compromise the quality of work during any phase of the design process, including construction and occupancy. We are committed to the quality of our work as we are to the ideas that drive it. JGMA is inspired by the diverse neighborhoods that make Chicago such a vibrant and exciting place to live, work, and visit. Our overwhelming realization of the significant disparity in resources available to education, social programs, and public spaces such as parks and libraries across Chicago neighborhoods inspired this mission. Some neighborhoods are built to fail, while others are carefully cultivated.
