Charles Deaton, a Colorado true renaissance man, blended sculpture, architecture and engineering into his buildings. Deaton’s structures, including The Sculptured House and The Key Savings Building, have become Colorado icons. Rectangular buildings were the norm, but Deaton was obsessed with curves. He was famously quoted as saying: “People aren’t angular, why should they live in rectangles?”
