Denver's first chief urban designer has arrived. Is it too late?
, she set a goal of hiring a chief urban designer.
After pivoting to focus on other tasks during the first year of the pandemic, Community Planning and Development finally posted the chief urban designer job in July 2021.What stood out about Di Girolamo was her ability to heavily consider “community and social equity” in urban design, Aldrete says. “Those items aren’t often coupled together, and that was her starting point as she had the conversations with me and with the selection committee about where the urban design field should move.
But there’s so much more to see! This is only her fourth day on the job, and Di Girolamo has agreed to a tour of certain parts of Denver where urban design issues are front and center. Across the street is a site much easier to understand. “We are in the Civic Center, and we know where we’re going,” she says. “It’s extremely important for a city to have spaces like this, where people can come together and express their minds and just enjoy a civic center or a center of the city.”
Di Girolamo doesn’t know much about the fencing, but speculates that it could be used for preserving the grass. “I think as long as there are points of entry that are clearly visible and allow everyone to come in and enjoy the park, I think that’s the most important thing, for sure,” she says. Arriving at the mall, which is undergoing a major renovation after forty years, I tell Di Girolamo how it was “designed by the guy who built the glass pyramids at the Louvre.” Swartz offers “I.M. Pei,” to which Di Girolamo responds knowingly, “Ah. One of his buildings is right there.” It’s the hotel at 1550 Court Place that was a companion to Pei’s iconic hyperbolic paraboloid on the mall, which was demolished decades ago.
