I’m in Denver for the AIA conference, and this afternoon I played a rousing game of Code Jeopardy with the Denver Chapter of DHI.  If you’re at the AIA conference this week, stop at our booth (#530) to play a short version of Code Jeopardy and your name will be entered to win an iPad Mini!  You can enter whether you get the questions right or not, and you’ll probably learn something about a new code requirement in the process.

Today I had a little time to hunt down some beautiful doors in Downtown Denver.  If you’re in Denver and you see any doors of interest, send me a photo!

On a drive-by of the Colorado Statehouse, I was disappointed to catch a glimpse of all-glass doors at the entrance.  On further inspection I realized that the original doors were still there – in the open position.

Speaking of retrofits, check out these new doors on the Archiocese of Denver.  I’ll give them an E for effort, even though I prefer when the old doors are refurbished.

These bronze doors are on the Scottish Rite Masonic Center.  Cool eagles!
