Dallas City Hall, Government building in downtown Dallas, United States
Dallas City Hall is a municipal government building in downtown Dallas with seven floors, notable for its inward-leaning triangular facade made of concrete. The structure by I. M. Pei features geometric forms and rests on a few massive supports that create an open plaza beneath.
The building was completed in the late 1970s and marked a new direction in Texas government architecture. It later received recognition as a historic landmark of Texas for its architectural significance.
The complex houses public artworks by local and international artists that visitors can view in hallways and common areas. This collection changes over time and shows the connection between government and culture in Texas.
Access is possible on weekdays during daytime hours when city offices are open. Visitors can explore public areas and view the architectural features from different angles.
The cantilevered construction creates a covered plaza that spans three floors and provides a sheltered outdoor public space. This engineering feature was unusual for the region at the time of construction and now serves as a gathering point.
