The Crescent, Architectural structure in Dallas, United States.
Description
The Crescent is an architectural structure in Dallas comprising three office buildings connected by curved walkways. Ground-level retail spaces surround a central garden that sits between the buildings, creating a defined interior area.
History
The structure was completed in 1986 under architect John Burgee's direction and introduced a new design approach to Dallas's commercial architecture. Its completion marked a turning point in how office buildings in the city were designed afterward.
Culture
The structure shows the design taste of the 1980s, with limestone facades and classical elements that visitors can still see today. This choice of style shapes how the place looks and reveals the era's preference for formal, refined shapes.
Practical
The complex extends 19 stories and offers office space, retail areas, and underground parking for tenants and visitors. The curved passages link the sections together and allow easy movement throughout the entire site.
Did you know?
The curved shape of the complex creates a sheltered courtyard that serves as a gathering space for visitors and workers. This inner area floods with natural light and offers a quiet retreat within the surrounding urban setting.
