Description of work : The Frederic C. Hamilton Building consists of geometric, titanium-clad angles, which reflect the nearby Rocky Mountain peaks and rock crystals. Visitors enter the building into the 120 foot-high El Pomar Grand Atrium. The Building features a sharply cantilevered sections that juts across a major Denver street toward the original 1971 North building designed by Gio Ponti and Denver based James Sudler Associates. An enclosed glass and steel bridge links the two structures and provides access to the new Duncan Pavilion, an indoor/outdoor event space.
