Doors Open Denver - Baker sites among city-wide architecture tours
Submitted by garbanzito on Fri, 04/10/2009 - 01:23
Location:
each year the free Doors Open Denver event invites citizens to visit buildings or parts of buildings they might not otherwise see; all sites have at least a volunteer guide, some require reservations in advance; several of this year's sites are in or adjacent to Baker, including
- a behind-the-scenes at the historic Mayan Theatre on Broadway (Sat & Sun at 9:30 a.m., reservation required)
- the odd "bridge to nowhere" projecting across the South Platte River from the Denver Wastewater Management facility
- klipp architecture studio's new offices at 2nd & Broadway (Sat 10-4) (unfortunately klipp's site is Flash-only)
- Fairmont Dual-Immersion Academy (previously known as Fairmont Elementary School) (Sat 10-4)
- the noble stones of Saint Peter & Saint Mary Episcopal Church (Sat 10-4, Sun 11:30-4)
the official site is awkward to navigate, but the PDF Program Guide is a good place to start, and here is a custom zoom at the DenverMaps site that includes the Doors Open Denver sites in Baker and surroundings

Watermark?
someone at tonight's BHNA meeting said they thought Watermark (warning, Flash
& atrocious typographyat 4th and Acoma had a Doors Open Denver tour; i can't find any specifics, though they did have a tour last year; if you know more, please post a comment)yes, Watermark has a tour
it's not on the PDF guide, but it is on this page 2009 Expert Tours
i will not rehash the listing for this tour, as it is pure sales drivel
Typography
The typography hardly seems atrocious.
you're right, Anonymous
it doesn't look as bad today -- i change browser settings a lot, so it might have been something on my end, or they may have updated the site; when i viewed it earlier, the type style at the bottom was garish (and i didn't even look at the Flash animation until today)
anyhow, my reaction was genuine, but i've adjusted my comment based on how i see it now (and apologies for the misspelling)
