In 1986, I.M. Pei completed construction of Fountain Place in downtown Dallas. This was I.M. Pei and Partner’s first major project after leaving Disney and teaming up. The original concept was to have twin towers but the project was never completed. The building was named after the fountains at the base of the tower that had an autonomous water show in the center. The buildings unique slanted sides gives a unique view from all sides. The building has become a staple of downtown Dallas and is one of my personal favorites. On September 24, 2009 the FBI foiled a plan to bomb the skyscraper. As of 2019, construction is under way for the AMLI Fountain Place, which will fulfill the original plans of having a set of twin towers
