Overview

Themes in Evolution is an overview of recent work by Denver-based Davis Partnership Architects. With roots stretching back to the 1890s, Davis Partnership is one of the oldest architectural firms in the United States. This volume outlines that history and the practice's evolving design sensibility. Featured are several projects that were completed in collaboration with other notable architects, including the Denver Art Museum with Daniel Libeskind and the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver with David Adjaye. The book includes texts by writer, architect and Dean of the School of Architecture at the University of Buffalo, Brian Carter, and designer Oscar Riera Ojeda. It explores how the human experience of architecture can be enriched and informed through employment of rhythm, animation, illumination and other design themes. Davis Partnership's mission states, architectural excellence is a matter of integrating high quality design with superior functional programming and operational efficiency. Although our primary goal is to meet our clients' technical, human, aesthetic and economic needs, we extend our sense of responsibility to the communities in which our buildings must blend. As a result, our buildings provide enduring visual continuity and suitability to the urban, suburban and rural environments they share.
