The Denver Airport compound has always fascinated me, as somewhat of a mystery, that is surrounded by an overwhelming amount of conspiracy theories. The architecture and design have specifically been called into question regarding these theories. Personally, this building creeped me outing gave me a negative feeling, even before I discovered the conspiracies around it. There is a certain dark aesthetic about it.

The “peaks” are supposed to be symbolic of snow covered mountains but are also rumored to be reflective of Native American Teepee’s, a dark and bloody history of the Great Plains. It doesn’t stop there. The shape of the building and its runways also apparently have an omniscient underlying meaning; They are said to be in the shape of a swastika. As you can see, the meaning of the building is somewhat unclear on the figurative front, but on the literal front, I believe it is a symbol for bringing people together in a modern way to achieve something incredibly amazing- travel. Personally, I feel lost there. Lost, and invisible. It is a hub of commotion, and efficiency. Originally designed as a functional piece of art, it has succumbed to being just another building.
