Designed by Fentress Bradburn Architects, the story of the construction of the Denver International Airport is a fascinating one. Denver International Airport was the largest contract undertaken by the City and County of Denver and was the first airport built in a major US city since Dallas/Fort Worth. Its only other contemporary rival in terms of the scope of construction is the English Channel tunnel. Gateway to the West takes the reader on a visual and narrative journey from the groundbreaking in 1989 through the opening in 1995.
Full colour details of the range of designs for film, theatre, music, opera and dance venues. Also contains essays by six eminent contributors who explore the issues of public spaces, intimacy, technology and restoration.
