Fountain Place
Introduction
Fountain Place is a landmark urban plaza and office tower complex in downtown Dallas, completed in 1986 by architects Pei Cobb Freed & Partners with landscape architects WRT. The plaza centers on a grand stepped fountain where water cascades down geometric terraces, forming one of downtown Dallas's most dramatic water features and offering a cooling respite in the heat of a Texas summer afternoon. The broad stone surround is a popular spot for office workers on lunch breaks, residents on strolls, and visitors with cameras. The tower itself is a classic element of the Dallas skyline, its glass curtainwall reflecting the Texas sun and sky. At dusk the fountain and city lights intertwine, making this a defining public space for experiencing modern Dallas.
