MAX WILSON STRANG, FAIA (1970-)

Strang grew up in Winter Haven FL where his parents commissioned a home by Gene Leedy. Strang's relationship with Leedy introduced him to the architecture of Paul Rudolph and other Florida architects. He graduated from the University of Florida and Columbia before working for Leedy, SHoP Architects, and Zaha Hadid. Leedy's studio at 555 Avenue G, Winter Haven FL, was acquired by Strang in 2023.
