Denver Ponders Museum Building

The Denver Art Museum is hoping that its new building, designed by Daniel Libeskind, will become an icon of the city, represent it visually the way the Guggenheim does Bilbao. “But what if the wing is just plain ugly? A number of average citizens and schooled architects wonder if the jarring style represented by Daniel Libeskind’s design is more imposition than institution, more trend than truth, more spectacle than service to the community.”
