Well, personally I don't think the building is that hideous, but everyone's entitled to their own opinion.

Here are two new renderings of the Spire project planned for 14th & Champa. The old Davis & Shaw building was torn down over the past week to make way for this 41-story condo tower:

Well, it does have an advanced Lego look about it. Orderly regiments of horizontal and vertical lines with balconies attached like rectangular barnacles. Did an architect take credit for this?

Dancer · November 20th, 2005, 12:06 AM

I cant wait to see Denver in a few years. Looks like there is some good stuff happening.

Dancer · November 24th, 2005, 09:16 AM

Hey density4denver. If you ever have the time Id love to see some construction updates. Thanks

Anyone know when Libeskind's addition to the museum is supposed to be completed? They still have the whole area fenced off and they're missing some cladding when I was at Central Library last weekend.

Your envy is so obvious.

Phoenix Ashes · November 30th, 2005, 09:05 PM

Damn it, I thought my envy of Lego architecture would somehow evade the supersleuths of the Denver Erector Set.

Phoenix Ashes · November 30th, 2005, 10:25 PM

At least it didn't impair my vision like those philistines in Denver.

Dale · November 30th, 2005, 11:20 PM

^ Forgot to add 'haughty', as result of the accident.

Phoenix Ashes · November 30th, 2005, 11:38 PM

Dale, it's fine with me if you think architecture should look like cereal boxes. Sorry if I put more value on the built environment than you do.

We know this, so go troll somewhere else. next please.

Phoenix Ashes · December 1st, 2005, 09:54 PM

Thanks, but I'll continue to exercise free speech, you Republicans notwithstanding.

Density4Denver · December 2nd, 2005, 03:14 PM

Phoenix Ashes, I really don't appreciate your obnoxious trolling and personal insults. If you can't be respectful and offer positive contributions to this forum, then please go elsewhere.

Density4Denver · December 2nd, 2005, 03:24 PM

Here's a different angle of the new EPA Regional Headquarters building currently under construction:

Please grow up. If you don't like architectural criticism, you need a different forum. I'm amazed how sensitive you kids are. Jeez.

Density4Denver · December 2nd, 2005, 10:16 PM

"Awful"
"Crap"
"Mistake like this"
"Squalor"
"Legos"
"Rectangular barnacles"
"Cereal boxes"

Yeah, real sophisticated "architectural criticism" there, Phoenix Ashes. I'm impressed.

bunt_q · December 13th, 2005, 07:21 AM

And "philistines"... big word there.

Anyways, moving on... Good to see you over here peddling our wares, Ken. I don't say much at SSC... more just look at the better international offerings. But now that we have a sticky, I may just have to keep tabs on this thread.

Funny though... of the squat hotels that we've had come up in the last year or so, the Best Western (the "architectural squalor...negation of hope" I believe it was) was actually one of the ones I liked. Even Dan/Cirrus, our ever-so-critical Denver architectural critic, didn't have too much bad to say about it. Odd...
