Denver’s ‘boomerang’ bus hub keeps visitors coming back

摘要

There’s something about Denver, Colo., and the use of fabric structures. First came the Denver International Airport, with its iconic peaked fabric roof of the Jeppesen Terminal (1995) designed by Fentress Bradburn Architects. The conical skylights were reportedly inspired by the Rocky Mountains backdrop to the airport. Then, in 2014, came a reworking of the downtown 1914 Union Station train terminal with a sweeping, undulating arched fabric canopy by SOM Architects that embraces the railyards and passenger platforms. It has become “Denver’s Living Room,” helping solidify fabric as this region’s material of choice for transportation projects.
