Denver is my first design object, and I still think it is one of my best projects. My inspiration was the “New World ” Symphony by Antonín Dvorák, and the idea of a space that is open to infinite new possibilities.I think the slimness and elementary shapes of the Denver express the vision of the flowing and jagged lines in my architecture.

This is rendered more sophisticated by the dynamic movement impressed by a slight but significant alteration to the classic geometry: an idea of aerodynamic beauty rooted in contemporaneity. — Daniel Libeskind
