Commons--Courthouse Center

Cesar Pelli
1973



Part of a down town renewal project, this structure near the Courthouse includes a glass atrium ("The Commons") and a shopping mall off the Commons. This slick tech building, with panels of glass, is similar to the much more ambitious building by Pelli, the Pacific Design Center (1975), in Los Angeles.
