Friday Five with Drew Lang of Lang Architecture
Architect Drew Lang shares some of his favorite things, including the kicks you'll always see on his feet.
A couple of years ago, we were drooling over this eco-friendly cabin nestled in a forest in the Catskills, which left us curious as to who was behind it. That person is Drew Lang, founding principal of New York City-based Lang Architecture, a firm rooted in innovative approaches to architecture and sustainability. After graduating from Middlebury College, he earned his Master of Architecture degree from Yale University, before launching his studio in 2003. Besides practicing in New York, the New Orleans-born Lang is also a licensed architect in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Louisiana, where he founded a non-profit called the Faubourg St. Rouch Project, an organization dedicated to revitalizing New Orleans’ St. Rochelle neighborhood, which was hit hard by Hurricane Katrina. His work has been featured on The Today Show, MSNBC, Dwell Magazine, Interior Design, The Architects Newspaper, Metropolitan Home, Domus Magazine, and New Orleans Magazine. Lang shares some of his favorite things in this week’s Friday Five, including the kicks you’ll always see on his feet. Take a look. Original source unknown

These majestic trees were ubiquitous during my childhood years in New Orleans, and formative in the way I view architecture within the context of cities and nature.
