Excellence Award Winner: KL&A, Inc. – Aspen Art Museum
The Aspen Art Museum is a 33,000-square-foot iconic venue in Aspen designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Shigeru Ban and that features a two-way, wood space frame floor structure above the top floor terrace, which is unique in the world in terms of its form, use of
innovative wood materials, and its fabrication and construction. Ban’s intent was to make wood structure of sustainable material and building systems, tying the look to the local landscape. KL&A, Inc., worked collaboratively with an international team challenged by competing demands of high snow loads and Ban’s desire for long spans with strict limits on structural depth. The final solution used a combination of spruce and micro-laminated birch plywood with a custom layup to optimize wood grain direction relative to local stresses, and members were connected almost entirely with fully threaded wood screws that remain invisible from below. The museum is a warm and well-lighted popular destination that reflects “new design thinking” in terms of successfully blending a futuristic vision with the character of a pristine natural environment.

Aspen's Great Train Race
The race to fame and fortune in Aspen began not in the 1960s but shortly after the townsite of Aspen was discovered in 1879. First called Ute City, Aspen soon gained the reputation as a town on the rise and with it came prospectors hoping to find their fortunes in the mountains above town. But Aspen's early success could not happen with key components--one of which being a railroad. What Aspen got was not one railroad but two, competing to see which would be the first to reach this burgeoning silver town on the Western Slope of the Continenal Divide. Join us for a brief history of the Great Train Race--Aspen-style.
