Jim Olson Architecture: Connecting with Landscape, Art & Craft | Denver Art Museum
Olson KundigAs the founding partner of Seattle-based firm Olson Kundig, Jim Olson has explored the interplay of landscape, art, and craft in architecture for over fifty years. In addition to his residences—particularly for art collectors—Olson has also designed museums, religious spaces and commercial buildings. He recently completed his first resort project, the JW Marriott in San Jose del Cabo, Mexico.
In Connecting With Landscape, Art, and Craft, Olson discussed a variety of projects as part of his discourse on the powerful connection between architecture, landscape, art, and craft, including his current Denver project, Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Art.
