The tallest building in Texas — a 75-story I. M. Pei-designed tower of grey granite and reflective glass, with a sloping five-sided footprint and a public sculpture plaza.

Creator notes
What works here
Shoot up from the Travis St plaza for the full vertical sweep. The adjacent Joan Miró sculpture "Personage and Birds" makes a strong foreground. The sloped top catches sun differently through the day.
Practical
Plan the shoot
Best time
Late afternoon — west glass catches the sun
Lighting
Reflective glass mirrors the sky; harsh flares at midday, warm sheets at golden hour.
