Go behind the scenes at the recently opened Knife

Go behind the scenes at the recently opened Knife Fork Spoon: Everyday Tools, Extraordinary Design exhibition at the Denver Art Museum, led by exhibition curator Darrin Alfred.

As the Denver Art Museum’s Curator of Architecture and Design, Alfred has built a national reputation for revealing the extraordinary stories embedded within everyday objects. Knife Fork Spoon reconsiders one of the most familiar elements of daily life—flatware—as a lens through which to explore innovation, craftsmanship, culture, and design. Featuring approximately 150 flatware sets spanning more than a century, the exhibition traces the evolution of these humble objects from handcrafted silver to digitally fabricated contemporary works by internationally acclaimed architects and designers.

This event will be on August 25. It’s for Denver Architecture Foundation members; learn more at denverarchitecture.org.

We are thrilled to welcome Allison Altaras to the

We are thrilled to welcome Allison Altaras to the board of directors of the Denver Architecture Foundation!

Allison is a partner in the Denver office of law firm of Holland & Hart, where she co-chairs the firm’s Land Use and Economic Development practice group. Allison’s lifelong interest in both the natural and built environments led her to specialize in land use law as part of her general commercial real estate practice. She helps landowners, investors, and developers navigate complex real estate transactions and secure critical entitlements and infrastructure for their projects. Landowners wishing to conserve or add value to their land turn to Allison for her extensive experience working with land trusts, public lands managers, renewable energy developers, rural economic development programs, and natural resource transactions. Allison knows that sound land use and development plans are rooted in context, place, and community, and enjoys helping clients with community outreach and strategic engagement with stakeholders.

Earlier in her legal career, Allison practiced water and environmental law and served as an appellate law clerk for the Colorado Supreme Court. Allison is a frequent speaker on land use and real estate topics. She serves on the Local Affairs Policy Council of the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce and previously served on the boards of Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado, the Colorado Legal Aid Foundation, the University of Denver Water Law Review, and the Tulane Alumni Association. In her free time, Allison enjoys horseback riding, live music, reading, cooking, and adventuring outdoors with her husband and two daughters.

Please join us in welcoming Allison to the DAF board!

Sometimes we climb onto rooftops during architectural tours! Here are a few more scenes from the recent Denver Architecture Foundation tour of the SGI-USA Buddhist Center in Boulder, Colorado, kindly and beautifully captured by DAF member and talented photographer Evan Melgren.
