Pei's designs echoed the work of Mies van der Rohe in the beginning of his career as also shown in his own weekend-house in Katonah in 1952.

The project differed from Pei's earlier urban work ; it would rest in an open area in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.

After inspecting Pei's work at the Des Moines Art Center in Iowa and the Johnson Museum at Cornell University, they offered him the commission.

Some notable examples among many are Henry Cobb's John Hancock Tower in Boston, much of I. M. Pei's work including the Dallas City Hall, and Mies van der Rohe's Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin.

Like most of Pei's work, the, three story building is a series of geometric forms: consisting of two curved wings, one mainly of glass and one mainly of masonry, set around a central atrium with a skylight that rises to become a low, conical glass tower.

Pei's style is described as thoroughly modernist, with significant cubist themes.

* 1989 – I. M. Pei's pyramid addition to the Louvre is opened.

I. M. Pei's design, which he came to call Shangri-La, is executed in a hilly and forested landscape.

Hong Kong's best-known building is probably Ieoh Ming Pei's Bank of China Tower.

) Danny Lee stars as Bruce Lee and Betty Ting Pei stars as herself in this movie that is based on Bruce Lee's last days leading up to his death in Pei's apartment in Hong Kong in July 1973.

The newspaper Le Figaro had vehemently criticized Pei's design, but later celebrated the tenth anniversary of its magazine supplement at the pyramid.

Pei's background in architecture was seen as a considerable asset ; one member of the committee told him: " If you know how to build you should also know how to destroy.

Ada Louise Huxtable wrote in The New York Times that Pei's building was " a palatial statement of the creative accommodation of contemporary art and architecture ".

Pei's Green, Dreyfus, Landau, and Wiesner buildings represent high forms of post-war modernist architecture.

Pei's ancestry traces back to the Ming Dynasty, when his family moved from Anhui province to Suzhou.

Its unusual rock formations, stone bridges, and waterfalls remained etched in Pei's memory for decades.

Soon after the move to Shanghai, Pei's mother developed cancer.

Pei's choice had two roots.

Pei's father urged him to remain in the United States, and he worked for two years at the Boston engineering firm of Stone & Webster.

One of Pei's design projects at the GSD was a plan for an art museum in Shanghai.

Pei's design was based on a circular tower with concentric rings.

One block away, Pei's team also redesigned Denver's Courthouse Square, which combined office spaces, commercial venues, and hotels.

Pei's associate Araldo A. Cossutta was the lead architect for the plaza's North Building ( 955 L ' Enfant Plaza SW ), South Building ( 490 L ' Enfant Plaza SW ), and Center Building ( 475 L ' Enfant Plaza SW ; now the United States Postal Service headquarters ).

In 1955 Pei's group took a step toward institutional independence from Webb and Knapp by establishing a new firm called I. M. Pei & Associates.

As with previous projects, abundant green spaces were central to Pei's vision, which also added traditional townhouses to aid the transition from classical to modern design.

The tower's smooth aluminum and glass surface and crisp unadorned geometric form demonstrate Pei's adherence to the mainstream of 20th-century modern design.

" Pei's dissatisfaction reached its peak at a time when financial problems began plaguing Zeckendorf's firm.

The success of NCAR brought renewed attention to Pei's design acumen.

Pei's first proposed design included a large glass pyramid that would fill the interior with sunlight, meant to represent the optimism and hope that Kennedy's administration had symbolized for so many in the US.

Pei's architectural team added more fill to cover the pipe and developed an elaborate ventilation system to conquer the odor.

Kennedy's assassination led indirectly to another commission for Pei's firm.

Pei's approach to the new Dallas City Hall mirrored those of other projects ; he surveyed the surrounding area and worked to make the building fit.

LOF countersued Hancock for defamation, accusing Pei's firm of poor use of their materials ; I. M. Pei & Partners sued LOF in return.

It is possible, although highly doubtful, that he killed none at all but merely let his reputation work for him by privately claiming every unsolved murder in the state.

But in this approach it is the artist's ultimate insight, rather than his immediate impressions, that gives form to the work.

The `` approximate '' is important, because even after the order of the work has been established by the chance method, the result is not inviolable.

If a work is divided into several large segments, a last-minute drawing of random numbers may determine the order of the segments for any particular performance.

I knew that a conversation with the author would not settle such questions, because a man is not the same as his writing: in the last analysis, the questions had to be settled by the work itself.

Beckett's own work is an example.

If he thus achieves a lyrical, dreamlike, drugged intensity, he pays the price for his indulgence by producing work -- Allen Ginsberg's `` Howl '' is a striking example of this tendency -- that is disoriented, Dionysian but without depth and without Apollonian control.

It is worth dwelling in some detail on the crisis of this story, because it brings together a number of characteristic elements and makes of them a curious, riddling compound obscurely but centrally significant for Mann's work.

In the work of every artist, I suppose, there may be found one or more moments which strike the student as absolutely decisive, ultimately emblematic of what it is all about ; ;

When I try to work out my reasons for feeling that this passage is of critical significance, I come up with the following ideas, which I shall express very briefly here and revert to in a later essay.

And if I have gone into so much detail about so small a work, that is because it is also so typical a work, representing the germinal form of a conflict which remains essential in Mann's writing: the crude sketch of Piepsam contains, in its critical, destructive and self-destructive tendencies, much that is enlarged and illuminated in the figures of, for instance, Naphta and Leverkuhn.

The presence of genuine mimesis in art is marked by the persistence with which the work demands attention and compels valuation even though it is but vaguely understood.

Was it supposed, perchance, that A & M ( vocational training, that is ) was quite sufficient for the immigrant class which flooded that part of the New England world in the post-Civil War period, the immigrants having been brought in from Southern Europe, to work in the mills, to make up for the labor shortage caused by migration to the West??

`` The man's true reputation is his work ''.

On the one hand, he does not work for a large agency, but is almost always self-employed.

He catches criminals not merely because he is paid to do so ( frequently he does not receive a fee at all ), but because he enjoys his work, because he firmly believes that murder must be punished.

The rocking, I realized, is the single element in the story that carries the erotic message, the unspoken and unconscious undercurrent that would mar the innocence of a child's fantasy and disturb the effects of the work if it were made explicit.
