As the last "master" of modernist architecture, he was described as an architect who paid attention to abstract forms. His favorite materials include stone, concrete, glass and steel.

As one of the most successful architects in the 20th century, I.M. Pei designed a large number of landmark buildings. I.M. Pei is a practical architect with many works and few papers. The influence of his works on architectural theory is basically limited to his works.

Probably in the middle.

I.M. Pei (19 17-), a world-famous architect and winner of the Pritzker Architecture Award, is a native of Suzhou, Jiangsu. He is called "the best architect in American history".

I.M. Pei's "works" are found in many big cities in the United States. The Kennedy Library in Boston designed by him is considered as one of the most outstanding works in the history of American architecture. There are skyscrapers in Denver, and the Parliament Center in new york attracts many people. The design of the Social Hill Building in Philadelphia won I.M. Pei the title of "People's Architect". Of all the buildings designed by I.M. Pei, the East Hall of the National Gallery of Washington is the most breathtaking. Former US President Carter praised: "This building is not only a harmonious and comprehensive part of DC, but also an artistic symbol of the increasingly close relationship between public life and art."

I.M. Pei 19 17 was born in Suzhou, a place where Wu Nong speaks softly and beautiful women are like clouds. His mother is a flute master and a devout Buddhist, so she named him Yu Ming, which means bright. I.m. Pei is a snake. People born in year of the snake are described as charming, intuitive and decisive, dressed in vanity and opinionated. Bei's yard is famous for its stones, which have many holes. In China, under the distorted appearance, the stone is endowed with a unique spiritual representation, which is the fantasy of the universe.

After graduating from high school, I.M. Pei had to choose her future. His father advised him to pursue a career in finance or study medicine. But I.M. Pei knows too well how difficult his father's career is. He said, I knew for a long time that the life of bankers was not ideal.

From 65438 to 0935, I.M. Pei went to the University of Pennsylvania to study architecture, but he was quickly hit by the old-fashioned teaching concept of the school and left there before the school started. He came to Boston to apply for the architectural engineering major of Massachusetts Institute of Technology when he was not confident about his painting foundation. Based on his painting foundation, the dean suggested that he reconsider. A year later, I.M. Pei began to study architecture.

At that time, a new architectural style was emerging in Europe, and they began to reject the complicated concepts of the past. But tend to be fresh and concise lines. At that time, many architects became a mere formality and despised functional value. I.M. Pei is facing the trend of internationalization, and it is difficult to fully accept it. Because he comes from a completely different world. Later, he met the architect Busier and learned the concept of "freedom".

I.M. Pei believes that architecture and structure are an inseparable whole, and it is impossible for architects to have a good design if they are not aware of the power contained in the structure. At the same time, this profession teaches you to observe, and your eyes will teach you the connotation of architecture. So learn to see and observe different things in different places. After learning the advantages of predecessors and excellent people, you should enrich yourself with personal experience, and then life will become more enriched, because the world belongs to you, and you know its history and others.

More than 70 works of I.M. Pei's life are all intertwined with money, power and politics. He applied his unique combination of diplomatic skills and design to more than 70 buildings, such as Hongkong and China Bank, Washington National Museum of Art and Louvre. Although the people of Paris opposed the renovation of the Louvre and the windows of the Boston Insurance Company building fell into the street one after another, I.M. Pei was not listed as one of the most important architects in the world. He is a tool to humanize the modernist style. His popularity proves that you can create a wonderful public space without resorting to excessive decoration or historical platitudes. He compared the building he designed to his daughter.

I.M. Pei strives for lightness, transparency and shape, but the most important thing is not I.M. Pei's architecture and his unpredictable personality, but the vacillation of the modernist dilemma, which endows him with heroic qualities of adventure. I.M. Pei tried to repair a time gap that seemed irreparable to the world, because his generation had never experienced suffering and was too elegant. I.M. Pei's glass pyramid stands in Napoleon Square in the Louvre in Paris. The magnificent landscape attracted the attention of the whole world. The pyramids have replaced the Eiffel Tower as a new landmark in Paris.

Some people say that I.M. Pei's patience, posture, energy, habit and charm, as well as the shining light in his eyes are still there. He never misses the past but focuses on the present. I take the day after waking up every morning as a gift, because it means I can work one day. He only does what he thinks is beautiful, that is, the beauty with shocking effect that you can't choose.

At the invitation of French President Mitterrand, I.M. Pei also completed the expansion design of the Louvre in Napoleon Square in Paris, France. This country, which has world architectural wonders such as the Eiffel Tower, is also fascinated by it. After the completion of this project, the Louvre has become the largest museum in the world. People praised the designer of the oriental nation, saying that his unique design "conquered Paris".

I.M. Pei is most proud that he was invited to Paris, France to participate in the Louvre reconstruction project at the age of 64. At that time, some people questioned whether I.M. Pei could do it. Can you undertake this heavy responsibility? At this time, I.M. Pei faced a Frenchman with a strong sense of superiority. After all, the Louvre is a place that people all over the world yearn for, and it has become an open stage for I.M. Pei to consolidate his peak position. When French President Mitterrand chose I.M. Pei, the whole Paris was taken aback, even though I.M. Pei was a famous architect.

French President Mitterrand has always strongly supported I.M. Pei, but this can't stop the French from imagining that they have a big scar and ruin the appearance of "French beauty". They attacked I.M. Pei and became an impassioned movement, shouting "Paris doesn't want pyramids" and "Hand over the Louvre". Culture Minister Mitch Gay said that the pyramid is a poor diamond. They described it as more infuriating to the French than the atrocity that Britain occupied Paris and tried to take away the artworks looted by Napoleon after his defeat from the Louvre. From 65438 to 0988, the catastrophe brought by the pyramids became the greatest happiness of I.M. Pei and his supporters, and I.M. Pei was accepted by the French who liked to quarrel and agree. In March this year, French President Mitterrand awarded I.M. Pei the highest medal of honor in France at the newly-built pyramid. To the embarrassment of the French, the pyramid, once strongly opposed, has become the pride of all. I.M. Pei narrowed the gap between the past and the present zeitgeist and praised the pyramid as a huge gem in the Louvre.

He thinks the most important thing is to keep full confidence. You must say to yourself that if I believe I am right, I don't care who I am. Whether ordinary people accept it or not is not the most important thing for me. It's more important to me whether I accept it or not. In a word, my subjectivity is inevitable, and I think it is right and proper. I don't know how to treat it objectively. We have to wait for history and then look at other people's criticism decades later. History is the most important, and criticism is the most important. This will take a little time. You can't say that you can do it today or tomorrow. I think this evaluation has no value.

With his seemingly indifferent attitude, I.M. Pei has withstood the most severe test in his architectural career. I never remember that I was depressed in Pan An. He thinks that letting more people know his works is the impression of the whole design. He is a very calm person, and he should keep his unique charming smile every time he sees him. I.M. Pei, like many great men, always seems very peaceful and unaffected by strong external pressure.

I'm Pei: I compare some buildings to shoemaking technology. It's like making a pair of shoes, making them by hand, leaving a little artificial trace in the building. All these traces of hand binding and binding are hardware that no company can buy. They must be original and unadorned.

The Louvre is special because it has not only buildings, but also art galleries, and the conditions inside are not simple, especially in France. So the Louvre is a very special building. For example, if you only appreciate beauty and you have become a painter and sculptor, then you must apply it. But the two should be together, why not? Why do you want to separate? However, I insist on combining the two aspects. Many architects only pay attention to beauty, not to application, so they can't do it well. Some people say that the pyramid represents death, and I say it is bright. I hope people will regard it as a monument without any historical connection.

He never follows the rules, but always strives for perfection in doing something unconventional. His architecture is unique because of its modernity. He balanced the inner world, Yin and Yang, Shanghai and Suzhou, East and West, new and old. Perhaps we can find the answer from the stones and flowing water in the ancient garden of Suzhou's hometown.
