Description:

The new wing of the Denver Art Museum, with a most unique design from Daniel Libeskind teamed with Davis Architecture, shall be constructed as a steel frame with many sharp angles and a large feature, which is 100’-0” above ground and cantilevers over 13th street.The steel team for this project was selected early so as to incorporate the collaborative effort of all the firms’ unique capabilities during the design phase and for complete planning of the construction phase.

3-D modeling has been the key for L.P.R. Construction’s engineer to plan, sequence, and eventually erect this complex project.With 3-D, connections can be analyzed from all angles and the sequencing of erection could be accurately planned.
