ASPEN INSTITUTE,
DOERR-HOSIER CONFERENCE CENTER

Aspen, CO

Design: Jeff Berkus AIA

The Doerr-Hosier Center at the Aspen Institute in Aspen, Colorado will provide administrative and conference space for this prestigious think tank, which attracts heads of state, researchers, and scholars from around the world. This will also be the last structure to be built in this historically important campus that includes buildings by Fritz Benedict and Herbert Bayer. The site includes a magnificent meadow, meandering creeks, superb views, and groves of Aspens.

Feng Shui criteria was used to evaluate the site and to propose optimal location, orientation, and alignments for the new facility. The project was conceived with full geomantic consideration, including alignments to significant mountains as well as rituals to promote prosperity, success and health, The facility will also include a sculpture by Andy Goldsworthy that will weave through the building, enhancing its geomantic fabric.
