緬因街1217號大樓位于達拉斯市中心，其的新穎設計是對20世紀50年代銀行大樓進行的驚人改造。客戶委托出生于古巴的藝術家Jorge Pardo（麥克阿瑟基金會研究員，其作品集意在探索當代繪畫、設計、雕塑和建筑的交集）設計了36215塊手工制作的釉面瓷磚，并將其作為建筑物的主要覆層材料。這些瓷磚的靈感來自得克薩斯州藍天的微妙變化，用不斷變化的醒目顏色包裹著建筑物。

為了準確地表達陶瓷藝術，設計團隊為瓷磚設計了一個技術上復雜的立面子結構，以實現控制縫和伸縮縫、面板接縫或模塊接縫或陰面粗線的視覺隱藏。

建筑的一樓設有面包店/咖啡館/肉鋪/雜貨店，上面則是四層創意辦公樓層。此外，將屋頂改造成可使用的辦公樓層，外部帶有陽臺，可供欣賞達拉斯市中心的外景。

城市藝術與建筑的成功融合使這座建筑成為一個新的市中心地標，無時無刻不充滿著活力。這一設計強烈表達了客戶的意圖，通過將著名藝術家的作品與重大建筑改造相結合，使達拉斯市中心成為永遠充滿活力的步行環境。

Located in downtown Dallas,the new design of 1217 Main Street is a striking transformation of a 1950s-era bank building.The client commissioned the Cuban-born artist Jorge Pardo—a MacArthur Foundation Fellow whose body of work explores the intersection of contemporary painting,design,sculpture,and architecture—to design 36,215 handmade,glazed ceramic tiles to become the primary cladding material for the building.The resulting tiles get their inspiration from the subtle variation of the Texas blue sky,wrapping the building with a striking and ever-shifting color.

To express the ceramic art properly,the design team devised a technically complex facade substructure for the ceramic tiles to enable the visual concealment of control and expansion joints,panel or module seams,or shadow lines.

The ground floor of the building is occupied by a bakery/café/butcher shop/commissary operation topped with four stories of creative office floors above.The roof was also converted into an occupiable office floor with exterior balconies affording the outdoor enjoyment of the Dallas downtown scene.

This successful merging of the urban art and architecture transfigures the building into a new downtown anchor that is now full of life day and night.It strongly expressed the client’s intention to permanently transform downtown Dallas into a vibrant pedestrian environment by combining the work of a renowned artist with a major architectural alteration.
