Opened in 1971, Denver Art Museum s north building, a seven-story structure with its distinctive cut-out roofline, narrow windows, and an exterior covered with more than a million custom-made glass tiles was one of the first high-rise art museums. In 2020, after a two-year closure for renovations, the museum is reopening the Ponti building, which will include new architecture and design galleries featuring an exhibition of Ponti-designed objects from the Denver Art Museum and local collections. The book will include both recent and historic photography, including many architectural details, and tell the story of how Gio Ponti, at the end of his long and remarkable career, created an architectural icon in the American West. Dr. Maauml;kelaauml;, former chair of the Department of Architecture at the University of Colorado Denver, will contribute an in-depth illustrated history of the building. Darrin Alfred, DAM Curator of Architecture and Design, will write about Ponti s design work using objects from the DAM collection as examples. Architect Jorge Silvetti will write about his admiration for Ponti s masterpiece from his perspective as one of the architects in charge of the renovations
