Description
The Denver Art Museum's north building, designed by mid-century Italian master architect and designer Gio Ponti, is an architectural icon in the American West. Opened in 1971, this seven-story structure features a distinctive cut-out roofline, narrow windows, and over one million custom-made glass tiles on its exterior. This book tells the story of how Ponti created this building at the end of his long and remarkable career, featuring recent and historic photography, including architectural details. Contributions from experts in the field provide an in-depth look at the building's history and design, including a new architecture and design gallery that will open with the museum's reopening. The book is a unique opportunity to explore Ponti's masterpiece and its significance in American art and architecture.
