Renovating and expanding an art museum designed by a well-known Italian architect comes with its share of design challenges. For the Denver Art Museum, an institution of visual art, it was a necessary revitalization effort to better serve the increase in foot traffic, which has now grown to more than 800,000 visitors annually.1<\/sup><\/p>\n

One of the structures from the museum\u2019s late 20th<\/sup> century expansion is the Martin Building, formerly known as the North Building. It is a two-towered, eight-story, castle-like gallery designed by Italian modernist Gio Ponti and completed in 1971. The design was a sharp departure from the temple style often associated with gallery architecture.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf a museum has to protect works of art,\u201d Ponti once famously noted, \u201cisn\u2019t it only right that it should be a castle?\u201d<\/p>\n

As part of a larger campus renovation, the museum\u2019s leadership announced plans in 2016 for a significant overhaul of the Martin Building to keep pace with the increasing patronage. The goals were straightforward: modernize the building to meet the demands of today\u2019s museumgoers and align it visually and functionally with its campus neighbors, the Hamilton Building and the Denver Central Library. Lastly, preserve the integrity of Ponti\u2019s original creative vision. Transforming those goals into a reality, however, was no small feat.<\/p>\n

Stephanie Randazzo Dwyer, principal at the architectural firm Machado Silvetti in Boston, says \u201cPonti employed unusual and incredibly striking combinations of triangular shapes and curved shapes in everything, from the exterior form
\nof the building, to a one-of-a-kind stainless steel entrance portal, to huge elliptical scoops cut out of the top of the building.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOur vision was to hew as close as possible to all of Ponti\u2019s details, while upgrading technical systems, increasing vertical transportation capacity, upgrading the weather envelope, and ensuring accessibility throughout the building.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Boston firm designed all the improvements to heighten the gallery\u2019s offerings and enhance visitor experience. This included the new addition, Anna and John J. Sie Welcome Center, an elliptical structure with a glass facade, housing guest services, two dining options, a special corridor, and a second-level event space which expands the functional versatility of the museum.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
The new Welcome Center corridor features a custom ceiling, echoing Ponti\u2019s design, with smaller squares of artificial light and massive skylights which frame the building\u2019s northern tower. <\/span> <em<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

While the welcome center enjoys an abundance of natural light, the design also called for the clever use of interior artificial light. One of Ponti\u2019s central themes was light play: \u201cI asked the sun and the light and the sky to help me,\u201d Ponti quipped of his design.<\/p>\n

More than a million reflective glass tiles cast light patterns across the exterior of the castle\u2019s towers, while the seemingly randomized fenestration mixes various window shapes and sizes into positions, adding to the light play inside and strategically protecting artwork from the deleterious effects of sunlight.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Ceiling perforations provide artificial light and wayfinding, with denser clusters of lights around areas such as elevators, stairs, and entryways. <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Creating light from above<\/strong><\/p>\n

A vast, glass-clad corridor connects the welcome center to the Martin Building\u2019s gallery halls, offering a panoramic view of the castle\u2019s northern tower. Designers used the ceiling in this space as a creative canvas for light play.<\/p>\n

By applying the look of Ponti\u2019s fenestration to the corridor\u2019s ceiling, the design team created an orderly but scattered pattern of squares of artificial light to shine through the plenum, coupled with massive rectangular skylights in an echo of the tiles and windows on the tower\u2019s exterior.<\/p>\n

The effect provides downward illumination, while drawing the eye upward to the skylights framing the tower in picturesque form. \u201cWe designed the ceiling as a perforated surface with an integrated lighting system,\u201d says Dwyer. \u201cThe perforations in the surface essentially allow light to pass through the ceiling from a grid of LED [light-emitting diode] lights above. The perforations are all across the Main Hall ceiling, but are denser at important areas, such as the door to the restaurant or the elevator to the event space. When the holes are denser, the light is brighter, and thus the visual effect is like clouds of light marking points of interest\u2014a sort of subtle overhead way-finding.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since traditional ceiling products were insufficient for an installation of this scope, the design team tapped a building products manufacturer to custom engineer a new configuration of lighting integration with fire-rated medium density fiberboard (MDF) for this project.<\/p>\n

The first challenge, as to the ceiling product, was finding a structured core material for the ceiling panels which would provide the level of acoustical comfort required for a museum, while allowing light transmission from behind the panel. Fully engineered MDF lay-in panels were ultimately selected and perforated with hundreds of crisp, cleanly finished square holes to create the randomized pattern.<\/p>\n

The perforated panels were backed with a translucent acoustical light-diffusing fabric to allow the light from fixtures, within the plenum, to emanate. To prevent unwanted light from penetrating through spaces between the panels, the design suspends the panels from a lay-in lift and shift suspension system and couples them with specially crafted splines to provide near seamless joints to seal the system.<\/p>\n

The result is a spectacular array of lights which is visually stunning and functionally practical, providing light, delight, and acoustical performance for this busy throughway.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
In the galleries, acoustic panels in matte black provide acoustical comfort while visually receding to allow the art to shine. <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Expanding functionality<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ceiling design ingenuity carries through to the welcome center\u2019s second-floor events space.<\/p>\n

With the center\u2019s elliptical profile, the events space ceiling needed to maintain a fluid shape and provide excellent acoustics to suit large gatherings. The design team relied on a malleable ceiling product which resembles plaster but offers superb sound absorption.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
The renovations to the Martin Building added the Anna and John J. Sie Welcome Center, an elliptical structure with a sprawling glass facade. <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The design team and its manufacturer partner custom engineered the material into trapezoidal shapes and pieced them together in a puzzle fashion, with recessed lighting at every adjoining corner. The combined tiles suit the structure\u2019s unique elliptical shape, culminating in a large recessed circular section and complete with a halo of artificial light at the space\u2019s core.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ceiling for this kind of designed flexibility is a major technical and aesthetic challenge,\u201d Dwyer says. \u201cIt had to meet the technical needs of many different room configurations for gatherings, each with their own unique requirements for air handling, rigging, lighting, audio, and visual systems.\u201d<\/p>\n

The panels were placed in a customized concealed aluminum suspension system which features a torsion spring mechanism to facilitate panel placement, enabling a quicker installation and full downward accessibility for maintenance and repairs. Special butterfly clips secure various fixtures within the plenum to prevent it from being entangled in the hanger wires and rods suspending the grid, all while providing a monolithic visual on the ceiling surface below.<\/p>\n

\u201cBesides what the ceiling looks like for those inside, the all-glass walls mean the event space ceiling is seen by everyone who is outside,\u201d explains Dwyer. \u201cIt had to be functional and iconic for both the interior and exterior.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
The events space ceiling was a puzzle created with trapezoidal shapes of acoustical material which fit to align with the space\u2019s elliptical profile. <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

All about the art<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the main castle section of the Martin Building, the gallery spaces serve a singular purpose: highlighting and celebrating a world-renowned art collection. The custom ceilings played a role in this objective as well.<\/p>\n

The intent for the ceilings in the galleries was to recede and contribute to a sense of calm. With their matte, non-reflective black surface and exceptional acoustical control, the acoustical panels paired with a coordinating black suspension system provide a sleek, modern look while contributing to the ambiance of the gallery.<\/p>\n

A resounding result<\/strong><\/p>\n

After more than a year of planning, testing, creating mock-ups, and developing design solutions, the resulting ceilings in all areas of the museum are true testaments of design ingenuity paired with creative installation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe began working early in the design process and brought to the table many layers of challenges with regards to maintenance, accessibility, and the complex integration of lighting,\u201d says Dwyer.<\/p>\n
