Architect Daniel Libeskind’s extension to the Denver Art Museum, The Frederic C. Hamilton Building, was completed in October 2006. The existing building was designed by the Italian architect, Gio Ponti. The museum was inspired by the vitality and growth of Denver, CO and has become a major cultural landmark for Denver.

“The materials of the building closely relate to the existing context as well as innovative new materials (such as titanium) which together will form spaces that connect local Denver tradition to the 21st Century.” – Daniel Libeskind

The building caught my attention due to its interesting shape. Daniel Libeskind uses a deconstructivist style which is characterized by fragmentation and distortion. I have never seen a building that looked so sporadic in construction. I first hated the different directions that the structure goes, but after looking more at it during my research, I found out that I actually love it. The interior is interesting as well as it follows the similar forms as the exterior of the building and some of the art exhibits/displays form to work with the unique shapes.
