-“IN THE WINGS”
A structure that flips a typical theater stage on it’s head. As actors blend into the background and props and storage become the foreground. The structure in itself is performative and yet ever so clumsy. This displays the in-between of a theater stage and its’ backstage, the wings.

Happy World Architecture Day! Did you know the University of Colorado has been providing built environment education for almost 100 years?

While there are many projects to celebrate, one recent achievement is the completion of the Vonnegut Cabins. CU Denver students used existing materials to reimagine six historic cabins in Thoreau, New Mexico. The project is part of the ColoradoBuildingWorkshop, the Department of Architecture’s design build certificate program.

The project received the design award of excellence from the Colorado Charter of the American Institute of Architects in recognition of the students' incredible work.

A Good Idea II: State of Play Denver opened “Drawing in the Making” on September 15th with an engaging roundtable. To support programming throughout the fall, Office for Roundtable and Studio Glass designed City Table, a reconfigurable system for roundtable, lectures, workshops, and events. City Table is a table for the city (and a city for a table!). The show officially opens on November 15th.

The exhibition began in University of Sydney at Tin Sheds Gallery in 2025 organized by Theo De Meyer & Stefanie Everaert of Stand Van Zaken and Guillermo Fernández-Abascal of GFA2. The show arrives in Denver through a collaboration with CU faculty, Sarah Hearne and Claire Glass.

Made possible with the help of CU students Esra Hima, Jason Oringer, Santiago Aguilera Cepeda, Camden Cramer, and Catherine Nguyen.
