位於美國科羅拉多州的丹佛美術館新館（Extension to the Denver Art Museum, The Frederic C. Hamilton Building），如尖銳山脈般的外型設計如同是呼應洛磯山脈的地勢而建。目前的丹佛美術館為原美術館加以擴建而成，同時使用了創新的材料，像是利用9,000塊鈦金屬板組成的外表來反射出絢麗的科羅拉多日光。美術館為當地公共空間專案的一部份，並做為這城市開發過程中的入口及一處紀念性質建築。

這棟建築物不尋常的外表成功地吸引更多的遊客，也使得丹佛這個地區更有活力，使得在過去南邊曾被稱為黃金三角地段卻一直毫無生氣的行政區域，變成了住宅、藝文及購物活動的熱鬧地區。丹佛美術館新館由Studio Daniel Libeskind建築事務所設計，將原本由義大利建築師Gio Ponti所設計的舊館再以擴建，在146,000平方英呎的空間中展出現代、當代、大洋洲及非洲的藝術收集品。

事務所表示，丹佛驚人的活力與成長力道是外型設計時的發想理念；而壯麗的景色、當地文化特色、洛磯山脈的美景及羅曼蒂克般的氛圍配合著丹佛美術館新館奇特的外型也成了當地的獨特景觀。在丹佛美術館新館的興建過程中其中一項挑戰為需要仔細地處理燈光及色彩轉換時的變化、氣氛的營造，以及當地獨特的天候；而這不僅需考量建築本身的功能性，也需在文化及遊客的體驗上加以整合。

在事務所設計的理念下，丹佛美術館新館並不僅僅只是根據某種造型理念而興建，或者只為了翻新原設計規劃，而是興建出內外部設計一致，以及比原設計下更為傑出的外觀，使得美術館的設計更能貼近大眾，並提供一處更智慧化與情感化的空間。在事務所的整合下，丹佛美術館新館擁有一種對建築本質的尊重以及與使用者間更佳的互動，在光線、比例與重要性中散發出獨特的建築語彙。

The Extension to the Denver Art Museum, The Frederic C. Hamilton Building, is an expansion and addition to the existing museum, designed by the Italian Architect Gio Ponti. The 146,000-square-foot extension, which opened in October 2006, currently houses the Modern and Contemporary art collections as well as the collections of Oceanic and African Art.

The Hamilton Building’s design recalls the peaks of the Rocky Mountains and geometric rock crystals found in the foothills near Denver. The materials of the building closely relate to the existing context as well as introducing innovative new materials, such as the 9,000 titanium panels which cover the building’s surface and reflect the brilliant Colorado sunlight. The project is designed as part of a composition of public spaces, monuments and gateways in this developing part of the city, tying together downtown, the Civic Center, and forming a strong connection to the golden triangle neighborhood.

To complete the vision for the extension Studio Daniel Libeskind worked closely with the director, curators, core exhibition team, the contract architect and the Board of Trustees. Since its opening, the new building has become a major cultural landmark for Denver, attracting thousands of visitors to the museum complex.

“The amazing vitality and growth of Denver — from its foundation to the present — inspires the form of the new museum. Coupled with the magnificent topography with its breathtaking views of the sky and the Rocky Mountains, the dialogue between the boldness of construction and the romanticism of the landscape creates a unique place in the world. The bold and forward looking engagement of the public in forging its own cultural, urban and spirited destiny is something that would strike anyone upon touching the soil of Colorado.

“One of the challenges of building the Denver Art Museum was to work closely and respond to the extraordinary range of transformations in light, coloration, atmospheric effects, temperature and weather conditions unique to this City. I insisted these be integrated not only functionally and physically, but culturally and experientially for the benefit of the visitors’ experience.

“The new building is not based on an idea of style or the rehashing of ready made ideas or external shape because its architecture does not separate the inside from the outside or provide a pretty facade behind which a typical experience exists; rather this architecture has an organic connection to the public at large and to those aspects of experience that are also intellectual, emotional, and sensual. The integration of these dimensions for the enjoyment and edification of the public is achieved in a building that respects the hand crafted nature of architecture and its immediate communication from the hand, to the eye, to the mind. After all, the language of architecture beyond words themselves is the laughter of light, proportion and materiality.”
