A major cultural landmark for Denver attracting thousands of visitors.
The new building is not based on an idea of style or the rehashing of
ready made ideas or external shape because its architecture does not
separate the inside from the outside or provide a pretty facade behind
which a typical experience exists; rather this architecture has an
organic connection to the public at large and to those aspects of
experience that are also intellectual, emotional, and sensual. The
integration of these dimensions for the enjoyment and edification of the
public is achieved in a building that respects the hand crafted nature
of architecture and its immediate communication from the hand, to the
eye, to the mind. After all, the language of architecture beyond words
themselves is the laughter of light, proportion and materiality.”
