Eric Hernandez – The Reunion Tower – 1

In my hometown of Dallas, Texas the reunion tower is a unique building downtown and it is made up of a long skinny base with a circular ball up top and this is the most memorable building I have because it was the weirdest building I have seen in person. The tower is supposed to represent a dandelion. It goes back to the prairie – bound past while also moving forward to the present skyscraper era. I have seen this building multiple times in life but I remember the first time I saw it I was amazed and I was filled with tons of questions. This building impacted me because I saw this when I was very young and it first interested me in architecture. After this building I started noticing more buildings and seeing how they were made. I want to use this building as my first one in the blog because this was the first building that opened my eyes to architecture. I remember walking through the halls and even taking an elevator ride to the top. It took awhile to get up there but the view was well worth it and something I had never seen before.
