Dallas City Hall - I.M. Pei's inverted-pyramid civic building

Dallas City Hall was designed by architect I.M. Pei and completed in 1978; the building is widely recognized for its inverted-pyramid form and cantilevered facade. The design represented a distinctive modernist approach to municipal architecture when built and houses the city's primary administrative offices and council chambers. The building remains a documented example of Pei's civic work in the United States.
