Dome

Five-story glass atrium wall supported by a stainless steel space frame, on diagonal side facing plaza with Miro sculpture (Personage and Birds, 1982); A 75-story skyscraper in Houston. It is currently the tallest building in the city, the tallest building in Texas, the tallest five-sided building in the world, and the 12th tallest building in the United States. Built (as Texas Commerce Tower) by Pei & Partners. Some of the glazing was damaged in 2008 during Hurricane Ike. A five-story glass wall supported by a stainless steel space frame spans the entire 85 foot width of the front entrance, making the lobby area light and airy, and opening up the space to the plaza outside, so that it harmonizes with neighboring Jones Hall, the symphony hall. The sky lobby observation deck is located on the 60th floor. The sky lobby acts as a transfer point for persons traveling to the upper (61-75) floors, but also as an observation deck for the public during working hours.
