Daniel Libeskind took inspiration for his new Frederic C. Hamilton wing at the Denver Art Museum from jet's-eye views of the Rockies. The wing's oblique planar surfaces do resemble the rock Flatiron slabs of the Front Range, but he gives a building far more complex than simple geologic context implies. The form is a mountain upended, with apical auditorium underground and the prismatic shards of its roots shredding the big western sky. The atrium turns the snowfield inside out...an icecave.

    A wonderful place to visit. So interesting. Took lots of pics but no video so it was great to have a look at your video. The museum also has in mind children and our two 5 and 6)thoroughly enjoyed their time with us. They were not bored in any way. The building definately has the wow factor and holds many fantastic things. One of my favourite days in Denver.

    Kids really respond to architecturally stimulating space. I see them grow spatially aware in my house. I was lucky to attend the Denver Art Museum press opening and shoot video unfettered.

    I went to the Hammilton Building for one reason-I love PostModernist Architecture.Being a student at the New Fort Collins High School, a post modern building, I get to appreciate it everyday at school. And, going into the Denver Art museum, I thought I would be used to the sharp wall angling which they have in my school's computer labs.But man, when you go into that building, the vertigo can get to you!The walls are so insanly obtuse that your eyes don't expect it and you get dizziness spells.

    Erm...he denied doing deconstruction. It was coined by other people. He just visualises the emotion of such space and he creates them, barely deconstructing. He doesn't deconstruct. Do read his book: Breaking Ground.

    I flew to Denver just to see this museum. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. This is an amazing place and I recommend it for the architecture, museum experience, and a great collection. I applaud your video and thank you for uploading it. It's one of my favorites.
