The South Asian Museum announcement is for a 39 story mixed use tower to be designed by Pelli Clarke Pelli architects.
First 5 floors will be the South Asian Museum, the next 10 floors will be office, and the top 24 floors will be residential.
I'm cutting and pasting from a post made by Sic'EmBears in another thread that provides details for this exciting announcement for Downtown Dallas:
This project [...] is its chance for Dallas to announce its presence as an international city on the world stage, with a truly mixed-use building.
A building that will have five floors of the foundation of the cultural teaching spaces and galleries.
Above which are ten floors of office building in which an incubator by a tech company may start up.
And above that, 24 floors of residential.
We think these mixed-use vibrant buildings can be transformative in this city.
It gives the city a work, live, play environment all in a single structure.
Quote:
We feel that the building can be iconic, that it should be in fact a gateway announcing arrival into Dallas on Woodall Rogers.
We feel that the tower should take a form and shape that makes it a symbol of the vision and goals of this city as well as its aspirations.
Quote:
It creates a sustainable structure. One in which the economics of the housing and office will endow the museum so that it can always be open for eternity.
