    Pei was, and will forever be known as an influential architect. He followed his dreams at a time when being an Asian American was difficult and found great success in his revolutionary designs. RIP Mr. Pei, you are an inspiration to many of us.

    Love how he cited his Chinese American heritage as a reason for winning over the Louvre object. Diane Sawyer really wanted to pigeon hole him as an American and he didn’t bite. This interview is so dated with the “old Chinese ploy” comment. As a first gen Chinese American it’s inspiring to see someone so proud of his roots do great things.

    Really not a fan of the JFK Library. Doesn’t evoke anything reminiscent of him or his legacy, nor anything scholarly, which is a shame. I think Pei became a bit myopic and built on architectural principles, not on the spirit and ethos of the particular project. It’s not that the end result were not good-more so they weren’t conjuring the feelings and thoughts imagined by the masses.

Yet, notice when modern artists and architects die...do the modernists forget them? No. They build "modern art museums" (oxymoron, that), and worship dead modern architects as if they were sacred cows. Is that not hypocritical? They should "ring out the old, and ring in the new"!
