Max Strang is the Founding Principal of STRANG. Through his work and discourse, he has consistently underscored the ongoing relevance and importance of regional modernism to an international audience. In 2016, Strang was elected to the College of Fellows of the American Institute of Architects. He has also received the Silver Medal from the Miami Chapter of the AIA and the Medal of Honor for Design from the Florida Chapter of the AIA, the highest honors the respective organizations can bestow. Strang has led design studios at the University of Miami, Florida International University and the University of Florida. Prior to launching the firm in 2001, Strang worked in the offices of Zaha Hadid and SHoP Architects. The architect of greatest influence, however, was Florida’s Gene Leedy, a pioneering member of the Sarasota School of Architecture. Strang was raised in a home designed by Leedy and later interned at his Winter Haven office. Strang is a graduate of the University of Florida and Columbia University.
