The Flower Mound Town Hall was recently built a few years back, it was designed by the Oxley Williams Tharp Architects who originated Fort Worth. The photo I chose captures the detail of the building and the nature outside. The architects had used different types of rocks together which seems to be molded together into the base and foundation of the building to help the support. The architects had also kept the nature in by keeping or growing the trees that was in the land before hand. I believe it was a good idea to keep the nature aspect after having to build all the pavement. I think that the building itself captures a modern theme to it as well as the matierals and shape to it also seem to capture a more classic building. ]]> 2021-10-05 14:59:36 UTC https://padlet.com/kjenkins28/r430p56mo2pz/wish/1793388963 angeline fernandez https://padlet.com/kjenkins28/r430p56mo2pz/wish/1795223794 The Baylor Scott & White Medical Center, located 1901 N MacArthur Blvd, Irving, TX 75061.

It was constructed in 2007 by Halff and Associates.  I like this monument because it reminds me of a mini version of the Washington Monument in DC. The tripod structure of shade around it is interesting and unique. Within the setting it's in, it really provides something dramatic and eye-catching for passers-by. I also really love the simplicity of the design. ]]> 2021-10-18 22:27:58 UTC https://padlet.com/kjenkins28/r430p56mo2pz/wish/1825423878 Laney Forester https://padlet.com/kjenkins28/r430p56mo2pz/wish/1828685510 This is Area 276.

The tower is at an astonishing height of  561 ft tall. Construction started 1976 and ended 1978. The man responsible for this shape was Welton Becket. At night you can also see the outer layer light up as it is filled with bright LEDs making for amazing works of art to be shown.

Since first starting as a small bingo hall off I-35 in 1991 it is now the World's biggest casino. The casino is located in Thackerville, OK and was created by a collaboration between Architectural Administration Department of the Chickasaw Nation and Stromberg Architectural Products of Greenville, Texas. The exterior design of the casino consists of numerous architectural works throughout the world starting in London, England to far Asia. There are 11 different sections of the casino that represent a unique contribution to the architectural world. The section of the overall creation I focused on was the Roman Colosseum because of the building's imperfection. I loved how the architects designed the building to look like it's been aged. I also liked the statues of various gladiators since this was the purpose of this building initially in Rome. It consists of patterns of pillars and recreated openings and my attention always focuses on the large crack in the building that overlaps in the middle. I found the overall design of the building to be very creative and beautiful inside and out. ]]> 2021-10-25 00:57:43 UTC https://padlet.com/kjenkins28/r430p56mo2pz/wish/1840169764 Daja Prince https://padlet.com/kjenkins28/r430p56mo2pz/wish/1840424536  M2G Ventures, developers of the nearby Foundry District near White Settlement Road at Carroll Street.o]]> 2021-10-25 02:55:47 UTC https://padlet.com/kjenkins28/r430p56mo2pz/wish/1840424536 Nayelli Cardoza https://padlet.com/kjenkins28/r430p56mo2pz/wish/1840454593 This picture is the ceiling of a church.

The Pyramid was originally envisioned in 1954 by Mark C. Hartz, while construction actually started in 1989, and finished in 1991. The building was originally constructed as a a giant mall building, but that idea collapsed soon after its construction. The pyramid was then used as a basketball stadium, but that stadium eventually closed as well. Finally, the pyramid was bought by Bass Pro Shops and was converted into a huge shop that resembled a small town, complete with bridges and rivers. 
The architecture required to build this building must have been extremely complicated, as it is a pyramid. If its pyramid shape doesn't immediately catch your eyes, its glowing night effects will, as it glows green during the night. I chose this building to review because I used to regularly pass it on the way up to New York to see family, and I had some prior knowledge of the building's history. Unfortunately, we cannot take our trips to New York, on which we were able to see the building, any longer due to the pandemic and the vaccine restrictions.]]> 2021-10-26 17:11:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kjenkins28/r430p56mo2pz/wish/1845739326 Ariel Bryant https://padlet.com/kjenkins28/r430p56mo2pz/wish/1849828646 this is the Reunion Tower in Dallas, TX.

Its currently located in Plano, TX and I like the way it looks in the morning since a majority of the building is nothing but windows you can actually see the other side if you look real close by how the morning light shines through (which is why I chose it). Interestingly enough, this particular building received the highest honor in the Low Rise Suburban Office Park category (2019 BOMA/ TOBY International Winner Outstanding Building of the year). From the website I found on this building it states that "This award not only recognizes the aesthetics of the buildings, but excellence in building management, operating efficiency, tenant retention, emergency planning and community impact".

This is the chapel at the university but people have a special connection to this building. The university used to exist in Decatur Texas before it was moved to this new location on the hill in 1965. The newly moved community use to worship the Lord in open fields in harsh conditions. However, after praying for 33 years finally Lord answered the Prayer of the worshiper at Dallas Baptist University. Blessing poured upon them and they started receiving donations from believers and supporters of Christ in 1993. Finally, in 2009 chapel was inaugurated under the leadership of Dr. Cook. The person who gathered 8 million dollars for making his dream come true of building a worship center at the University. I worshiped in this chapel when I initially came to the United States and started my higher education at Dallas Baptist University. This place I have worshiped with my friends from different countries like Chile, Peru, Brazil, Taiwan, Japan, etc. These moments were special for me because now that I might not be able to see those friends again. This was the reason I choose to take pictures of this chapel. The reason behind choosing nighttime is the white color of the chapel that is complementary to the darkness of night. The beauty of this Chapel is that it is visible anywhere one goes on the whole campus.  ]]> 2021-11-05 01:48:23 UTC https://padlet.com/kjenkins28/r430p56mo2pz/wish/1868880525 Camille Moore https://padlet.com/kjenkins28/r430p56mo2pz/wish/1930434623 This is Bank of America Plaza located at 901 Main Street, Dallas, Texas 75202.
