POINTEDLY DIFFERENT IT MAKES A STRIKING IMPRESSION

The Denver Art Museum's Frederic C. Hamilton Building, designed by architect Daniel Libeskind, opens to the public Oct. 7. A walkway joins the new structure to the original museum.

A Louise Bourgeois spider is one of several sculptures that surround the museum.
ATRIUM: Skylights 120 feet above the floor are visible from the Hamilton Building’s staircase.

Roy Lichtenstein’s “The Violin” hangs at an angle in a Denver Art Museum room.

The Frederic C. Hamilton Building opens to the public next Saturday. Its design dictates slanted walls and ceilings for its galleries.

This is not architecture. Libeskind is the sort of clown who thinks he is a great architect because he makes unusual shapes. Sophisticated architecture evolves through refinement and development of craft. Only the naive and pretentious kid themselves that this is fine design. And keep in mind that that Libeskind clown had to hire another architect to design his own home in New York!!! Fore christ sakes, wasn't anybody in his office able to habdle it? Or are they all morons too?

What a clumsy, contrived and dumb building!! I'm always amazed at how stupid people are by assuming something that is "unusual" is also good. I mean, look at this stupid thing? How can you call that architecture? I'm laughing at you! And I'm certainly laughing at the idiot who designed it.

Yeah, I think the architect is laughing too . . . all the way to the bank.

I'd heard this building was a complete mess inside, but I could not imagine how dumb it really was until I saw these photos. Who does Libeskind think he's kidding?
