Denver Colorado - Denver Art Museum - North Building - Design by Gio Ponti 1971
Denver Art Museum: The North Building at DAM — designed by Gio Ponti in 1971.
The North Building, a seven-story 210,000-square-foot addition, opened in 1971, allowing the museum to finally display its collections under one roof.[4] The building was designed by Italian modernist architect Gio Ponti, with local architects James Sudler Associates of Denver. Ponti said, “Art is a treasure, and these thin but jealous walls defend it.”[5] It is his only completed design built in the United States.[4] Ponti wanted the DAM building, housing the important art within, to break from the traditional museum archetypes. The two-towered "castle-like" façade has 24 sides, and more than one million reflective glass tiles, designed by Dow Corning, cover the building’s exterior
