Description:
Brookhollow Plaza
7200 Stemmons Freeway
Dallas, Texas
1966-1970

“Brookhollow reflects the impossibility of Le Corbusier’s concept of large commercial office complexes set in parks, since volumes of parking need to be close to office structures. The essence of the precast concrete system of construction is: (1) repetition of similar elements, (2) efficiency gained through maximum size units, thereby cutting handling time and numbers of joints, (3) utilization of structure as walls, spandrels and finished interior spaces. The structure is exposed throughout, never relying on mere symbols of structure, as in most steel frame towers, where fireproofing blurs the purity of form. Sixteen corners are introduced at every typical floor, rather than the usual four, in order to have more prime 'corner offices.'"
- Paul Rudolph
