Walter Isaacson Center - Aspen Institute
The Walter Isaacson Center project included a renovation and addition to the Aspen Meadows Resort Reception Center. The original building was designed in 1955 by renowned Bauhaus artist, architect Herbert Bayer and local Aspen architect Fritz Benedict. The most recent designer Jeffrey Berkus Architects, incorporated a modern design aesthetic while preserving the building's key elements. The addition of the Pavilion expands the restaurant space and provides an all-weather venue for events. Shaw also added an extensive outdoor deck along the side of the existing Meadows restaurant.
