Architecture study ranks Denver No. 8

An article from the Denver Business Journal, reports that according to a study by the RMJM Hillier architecture firm, Denver ranked No. 8 on a list of top 10 U.S. cities for architecture and design based on citizen polls. RMJM Hillier design director, Peter Schubert said in a statement, "Good design makes better communities by boosting the economy, creating jobs and, particularly today, sponsoring environmental strategies. We conducted the study to see which cities are the most forward-thinking in their planning and development strategies, and to applaud those that are doing it right." In recent years, metro Denver's architectural highlights include the expansion of the Colorado Convention Center, architect Daniel Liebeskind's addition to the Denver Art Museum, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's LEED Gold regional headquarters in downtown Denver, and one of Colorado's first LEED Platinum buildings, the Signature Center office building in Golden.
