Yeah. He was also the architect of the Tower of the Americas in San Antonio.

This one is pretty squarely in the "meh" pile for me, but go see some of his other buildings. He was of the Frank Lloyd Wright vein of architecture, dealing mostly with mid-century modern style architecture. His single family homes were pretty decent. Architects design beautiful buildings, budgets dictate their outcome.
