Interesting Buildings
If you’ve seen a building from one angle, it is usually fair to assume that you’ve seen the building from all angles.
Well, that’s just not true with this recent addition to the Denver Art Museum. This picture can create a strong impression of the design of the overall building but, from another angle, you might be surprised by what you see.
The geometric, titanium-clad angles, were built to reflect the nearby Rocky Mountain peaks and rock crystals. When I look at this building, it reminds me that problems in life sometimes need to be viewed from a different angle, or a different perspective. Corny analogy, I know 
But what are your thoughts when you view interesting building designs such as this? Let me know, comments and feedback are greatly appreciated . . .

Ugh, that is one ugly building! They recently covered a building in London with grass, and it completely changed it from an eyesore to a piece of contempory art.

Ha ha, that is a funny and valid point, Dave. I guess with this type of building design you either like it or you hate it. I’m not sure where I stand, but I do think the building is worth noting simply for its unique design that is so different from all the rectangle buildings typical of every city!
The building in London you mention, did they cover the entire building or just the roof with grass? I’ve heard a lot about these new ‘green’ buildings with gardens on the roofs, etc. In fact, I’ll be doing a blog entry on one such building in Denver in the very near future!
