Barton Myers: Phoenix Municipal Government Center (Phoenix, Ariz.)

The design competition for the civic center of Phoenix placed the main municipal buildings at the center of the city; the Myers plan incorporates the main arteries into how the architecture works with the surrounding area. The low-rise buildings were joined together by a series of walkways, parks, courts, and an aqueduct. The reddish-brown and pink sandstone wall color connected the building and the city to the desert.
