About the program

Eyes on the Future: Evolving Hotel Design at Populus

at Studio Gang

1520 W Division St, Chicago, IL 60642

Public gallery hours (appointment required): Wednesdays 4:00-6:00 p.m. and select Fridays

Through architectural models, drawings, material samples, and more, discover the intention and process behind the design of Populus, Studio Gang’s recent hotel project in downtown Denver. The building’s signature “aspen eye” windows frame a look into how contemporary hotels can connect more closely with their local community and environment—while simultaneously transforming the studio’s Chicago gallery into a glimpse of Colorado, inside and out.

Exhibition entry is free and open to the public, but booking an appointment is required.
