Recognition Texas Society of Architects 25-Year Award The Texas Society of Architects 25-Year Award recognizes one building completed 25 to 50 years earlier that has stood the test of time by retaining its central form, character, and overall architectural integrity. The award will be presented during our 2015 Gala on November 6 at our Annual Convention in Dallas.

Dallas City Hall

Completed in 1978 and designed by I.M. Pei & Partners with Harper & Kemp as the local associate architect, Dallas City Hall was selected as the Texas Society of Architects 25-Year Award recipient for 2015. The building is being honored for its role as an image-maker expressing the city’s civic pride, strength, and ambition, and for maintaining its spirit through the years. The Honor Awards jury commented that the design “is as fresh and compelling today as it was when it was first completed.”
