dc.descriptionWest flank, looking northeast, showing collision of forms and the Bartlit Sculpture Deck view point; The Hamilton Building's design recalls the peaks of the Rocky Mountains and geometric rock crystals found in the foothills near Denver. "I was inspired by the light and the geology of the Rockies, but most of all by the wide-open faces of the people of Denver," says Libeskind. The building is covered in 9,000 titanium panels that reflect the Colorado sunshine. The 146,000-square-foot Hamilton Building opened to the public October 7, 2006.
