Title
Denver International Airport's peaked roof, outside Denver, Colorado, designed by Fentress Bradburn Architects, is reflective of snow-capped mountains and evokes the early history of Colorado when Native American tipis were located across the Great Plains. Its Teflon-coated fiberglass roof resembles the Rocky Mountains in winter. A catenary steel cable system, similar to the Brooklyn Bridge design, supports the fabric roof
