WORLD ARCHITECTURE / IEOH MING PEI, FAIA, RIBA 1917 – 2019.

World class architect, I.M. Pei died this week at 102 years.  Above, he is posed in 1979 outside his design for the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston.

Of course, American aficionados of excellence in architecture will believe I.M. Pei’s National Gallery of Art, East Building in Washington DC is this Chinese-American’s ultimate work.

If you’re French, the glass pyramid in the courtyard of the Louvre Museum in Paris, is Pei’s pièce de ré·sis·tance.

Those living in Doha, Qatar will vote for the Museum of Islamic Art, as Mr. Pei’s masterpiece.
