O’Neil Ford designed this in 1965 with Roland Laney and Carolyn Peterson. They used similar designs that Ford used on City Hall. Ford wanted this pool to be relaxing for its people and designed it in more of a sphere shape than the regular rectangle. He built this and city hall around the same time and used the same stylistic themes in both.

Ford built the Denton City hall in 1967. Seen in the photo Ford used many of his signature designs like carved wood and tiled floors for the structure. Ford built the structure in a sunken courtyard so that the building could expand upward stories. He designed the planned expansion for the building but only built the sunken courtyard surrounding it with carved wood.

This residential home was the first Ford built in his career. He finished this residential home in 1929. This home was built in Denton, Texas and is now a historical landmark in Denton. This was an early example of Ford’s work and his use of modern and traditional architecture he used throughout his projects.

This chapel was built by O’neil Ford at Texas Women’s University in Denton, Texas that was completed in 1939. This chapel was one of Ford’s best buildings he has created. He created this chapel during a high point in his architecture career and used modern works with tradition to create the beautiful chapel.

The Perot Museum is one of my favorite architectures in Dallas. I have been here a few time for field trips but also for fun. The outside of the building has a very unique modern architecture. The glass piece on the side of the building is actually an elevator. Inside the building is has very modern and large areas with large windows but also has rooms that are darker all depending on what part of the museum you are in based on the different historical parts of nature and science within it.

The Louvre Museum is the worlds largest museum and a famous landmark in Paris, France. I visited this museum in summer of 2017 and the architecture along with the artifacts inside were very fascinating. The large class triangle is the beautiful entrance of this museum. After entering you take an escalator underground, down a floor to the actual museum. From there the museum is filled with many different rooms and hallways that are filled with thousands of historical artifacts.

Reunion Tower or otherwise known as ‘the ball’ is a famous landmark building of downtown Dallas, Texas. I grew up 10 minutes away from this building and have been to the top of it many times for different occasions and the view is breath taking each time. This observation tower allows you to see a 360 view of Dallas and there isn’t anything else like it. The exterior of this building is surrounded by lights that change depending on the day and the events happening in Dallas. The view from the top of this building is unlike any other you can get in downtown Dallas.

In Summer for 2017 I visited Vatican City. During my tour of Vatican City I got to go into the Sistine Chapel. This Chapel is a place of worship and when you entered it you could not speak or use your phone whatsoever. The beautiful paintings that covered the walls were breath taking and when I went I stayed in there for a long period of time to take it all in. The art on the walls were depictions of the life of Christ, Moses and different popes and were painted by six different artist during the Florentine Renaissance. Pictures of the walls within this chapel don’t do it justice because each painting tells a different story coming together to tell the story of Christ.
