Choosing a Design firm for a Houston High-Rise


Recommended Posts

I found this and thought it was very interesting.

November 7, 1977

2. Architectual Objectives

a. A dynamic architectual presentation is highly important to projecting a positive image of Texas Commerce Bank as a preeminant financial institution of national and international stature. Further, the design should be a unique product in the marketplace of prospective tenants in order to successfully compete with other proposed projects.

b. An opportunity exists to create a complementary skyline image, especially in light of the unique low-level skyline formed by the buildings immediately surrounding the site.

c. The views of the project from pedestrian and vehicular approaches, say the first 100 feet of vertical building, are likewise very important to the overall image of the project.

g. Energy conservation techniques will be important in the design.

h. Architecture should be classic but with a contemporary look.

3. Project scope

g. Tallest structure in the city, approximately seven hundred fift feet in height.
