About this ebook
Considered the world leader in designing iconic public architecture, Curtis Fentress is redefining the art of civic buildings.

Very nice book on the focus of what public architecture and the process could be. It's mostly a picture book, but gives a little design insight on some of Denver's best building. Overall a nice job.
