  11. I.M. Pei on City Hall and preservation.

    "I am unhappy about the fact that our society seems to be much more inclined to build something for a short time and then tear them down. I think this self-disposable society of ours is not conducive to doing good architecture, and this I am unhappy about. Why is Paris so beautiful? Because the buildings were well-built, were built to last. That’s the difference. And we don’t, and this I regret.”

  12. Dallas Built City Hall After a Dark Chapter — Don't Erase That History

    "[W]e stepped out onto the plaza and the whole vision unfolded: a public gathering space for “we the people.”

    "I stood at the foundation of City Hall, the concrete building blocks that reached overhead and out to the citizens, creating a covered front porch with windows that reflected the citizenry."

  13. Here's what Dallas residents have to say about their City Hall

    Ahead of a Dallas City Council vote on the direction of City Hall, residents are speaking up about their opinions over the future of the building.

    "The rush to make a decision includes lots of opportunity for oversights, miscalculations. I've seen nothing that says what the truly allocated cost of relocating a city hall to another building would be."

  19. People Who Don’t Understand Downtowns Are Destroying Downtowns 🏙️

    A far-fetched plan to demolish Dallas’s seat of government is threatening the city’s role in the region.

    Dallas City Hall might ultimately be razed for a casino—a perfect symbol for our era of civic impoverishment and gambling addiction.

  25. Prominent Dallas architects identify three sites for new Mavericks arena to save City Hall

    The three locations include the Hunt Realty-owned former Reunion arena site and the vacant parking lots behind City Hall owned by developer Mike Hoque. The third included over 30 acres of land that will be available after the new Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center is demolished and reconstructed.

  26. Mark Lamster says don't tear down City Hall - D Magazine

    "In general, it’s saddening how feckless this city is when it comes to maintaining the buildings and spaces that it owns. Specifically on this City Hall thing, I think it’s great that the News publishes a strong voice like Lamster’s, a middle finger in its own face. It serves the city well."

  27. #OnThisDay in 2019, #IMPei, Chinese-American modernist #architect (Louvre Pyramid; JFK Library; Dallas Symphony Hall; Rock and Roll Hall of Fame), Brunner Prize (1961), PrItzker Prize (1983), died at 102.

  28. Looking for some inspo on a soon-to-be starting new townhouse project. Love how the open stair organizes each floor and pulls you up through the floor plates. Tight spaces, but lovely, robust and comfortable finishes throughout. #townhouse #architecture #impei #infilldevelopment #missingmiddle

  29. I appreciate that most people find the Spelman walkway at Princeton to be claustrophobic but I thought it was delightful.

    A special surprise was the fire escape hidden in the balconies, which is a wonderfully proactive move--you're gonna need them, so why not plan in advance?

    The architect is IM Pei.

  30. Happy #lunarnewyear to all celebrating today! In honor of the holiday, I thought I’d highlight some work by acclaimed #Chinese American #architect I.M. Pei.

    Here’s the William L. Slayton House in Washington, D.C. It’s one of the few homes he designed, and features a triple-barrel concrete roof and red brick walls.
