Personally, I think the Dallas city hall is awful (and Pei is incredibly overrated). It has zero feel of being an important civic building, and it's completely unremarkable aside from that slanted side, which I don't even find to be interesting or appealing. In addition, it's got a huge barren plaza like most modernist civic orifices, which I've never seen being used apart from days when there are things like press conferences and the like. Oh, and the library across the plaza/street is hideous as well.
Not that ours is any better, of course. Ours is a drab, horrible concrete box. The Dallas building is a drab, horrible concrete box that thinks it isn't.
