![Pennzoil Place is a set of two 36-story towers in downtown Houston, Texas, United States.[1] Designed by Philip Johnson and John Burgee and built in 1975, Pennzoil Place is Houston's most award-winning skyscraper and is widely known for its innovative design.[2]<br />
Pennzoil Place, developed and managed by Gerald D. Hines Interests, consists of two 495 ft (151 m) trapezoidal towers placed ten feet apart and sheathed in dark bronze glass and aluminum. The buildings are mirror images of each other.[3] The entire street-level plaza joining the two structures is enclosed in a 115-foot (35 m) glass pyramid-shaped atrium.[1] Deliberately designed as an optical illusion, Pennzoil Place's appearance will vary depending on the different locations from where it is viewed. Pennzoil Place is considered significant in architectural circles for breaking the modernist glass box design made popular by followers of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and for introducing the era of postmodernism.[4] The buildings combined contain 1,400,000 square feet (130,000 m2) of leasable space.[3]](https://www.ruthburkeart.com/img-get2/I0000ahoTBx4l1fc/fit=188x188/fill=/g=G0000md0qnbUUF1U/I0000ahoTBx4l1fc.jpg)
