Dallas City Hall (I.M. Pei modernist silhouette)

Dallas City Hall was designed by architect I.M. Pei and completed in 1978; its inverted pyramid form and long horizontal façade are widely recognized examples of late modernist civic architecture. The building's distinctive profile is frequently photographed from multiple angles and those images are often repurposed in social media posts and memes about government, bureaucracy, or modernist design. The site functions as the municipal seat of Dallas and hosts public civic events and demonstrations that also contribute to its visibility online.
