Denver Art Museum Frederic C. Hamilton Building / Denver, CO
How can a museum expansion add to a skyline?
The Denver Art Museum's Frederic C. Hamilton Building is a dramatic addition to the Denver skyline. Its geometric wall planes, clad in titanium, mimic the forms of the Rocky Mountains that loom in the background. One jutting structure reaches across the street to link with the museum's older North Building. Designed by world-renowned architect Daniel Libeskind, the new building increased the exhibit space of the already expansive museum by more than 40 percent.
