悼念：I.M. Pei, World-Renowned Architect, Is Dead at 102
Mr. Pei, a committed modernist, was one of the few architects equally attractive to real estate developers, corporate chieftains and art museum boards.
The glass pyramid at the Louvre was among his many famous designs.

I. M. Pei, the China-born American architect who began his long career working for a New York real-estate developer and ended it as one of the most revered architects in the world, has died. He was 102.
His son Li Chung Pei said on Thursday that his father had died overnight.
Mr. Pei was probably best known for designing the East Building of the National Gallery of Art in Washington and the glass pyramid that serves as an entry for the Louvre in Paris.
He was hired by William Zeckendorf in 1948, shortly after he received his graduate degree in architecture from Harvard, to oversee the design of buildings produced by Zeckendorf’s firm, Webb & Knapp.
At a time when most of his Harvard classmates considered themselves fortunate to get to design a single-family house or two, Mr. Pei quickly found himself engaged in the design of high-rise buildings, and he used that experience as a springboard to establish his own firm, I. M. Pei & Associates, which he set up in 1955 with Henry Cobb and Eason Leonard, the team he had assembled at Webb & Knapp.
In its early years, I. M. Pei & Associates mainly executed projects for Zeckendorf, including Kips Bay Plaza in New York, finished in 1963; Society Hill Towers in Philadelphia (1964); and Silver Towers in New York (1967). All were notable for their gridded concrete facades.
The firm became fully independent from Webb & Knapp in 1960, by which time Mr. Pei, a cultivated man whose quiet, understated manner and easy charm masked an intense, competitive ambition, was winning commissions for major projects that had nothing to do with Zeckendorf. Among these were the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo., completed in 1967, and the Everson Museum of Art in Syracuse and the Des Moines Art Center, both finished in 1968.
They were the first in a series of museums he designed that would come to include the East Building (1978) and the Louvre pyramid (1989) as well as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, for which he designed what amounted to a huge glass tent in 1995. It was perhaps his most surprising commission.
Mr. Pei, not a rock ’n’ roll fan, initially turned down the job. After he changed his mind, he prepared for the challenge of expressing the spirit of the music by traveling to rock concerts with Jann Wenner, the publisher of Rolling Stone.
The Cleveland project would not be Mr. Pei’s last unlikely museum commission: His museum oeuvre would culminate in the call to design the Museum of Islamic Art, in Doha, Qatar, in 2008, a challenge Mr. Pei acceped with relish. A longtime collector of Western Abstract Expressionist art, he admitted to knowing little about Islamic art.

As with the Rock and Roll museum, Mr. Pei saw the Qatar commission as an opportunity to learn about aculture he did not claim to understand. He began his research by reading a biography of the Prophet Muhammad, and then commenced a tour of great Islamic architecture around the world.
A full obituary will appear shortly.

貝聿銘-現代主義泰斗(I. M. Pei- Mandarin of Modernism )-
麥可．坎奈爾著

《貝聿銘－現代主義泰斗》
貝聿銘
貝聿銘所到之處都引人注意。儘管它長袖善舞、八面玲瓏，與企業大老闆、藝術家和國家元首交情匪淺，私底下的貝聿銘仍是難以捉摸的。恍如童年時代四面高牆的祖宅，它的內心世界不是西方人所能了解的；；即使是他以前的合夥人也表示不曾真正跟他親近過。解開這謎團的線索就在上海複雜的社會階級，甚至在古老庭園的石頭和潺潺流水之間。
這是一本有關建築物和權力、移民和同化、美式奔放和中式收斂、實用主義和華麗報導、東方和西方的傳記。書中附有珍貴照片幾十幀，均為貝聿銘和世界名人合照及其代表性建築作品：如中國香山飯店、香港中銀大廈、甘迺迪紀念圖書館、美國國家藝廊東廂、巴黎羅浮宮金字塔等膾炙人口的經典之作。

Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Master architect Pei's clean and elegant buildings are well known, but the man himself remains somewhat of an enigma, even to those closest to him. Cannell, who writes for Time and the New Yorker, couldn't penetrate Pei's mask, but he does offer a rich and vivid portrait that captures the essence of Pei's charm, vitality, and success. Born into a wealthy and influential Chinese family, Pei grew up in Shanghai where he received a Western education, became enamored of American culture, and chose to study in the U.S. He arrived here in the 1930s, and his academic prowess carried him to Harvard and Walter Gropius' influential circle. But Pei, more a man of action than theory, left teaching to build buildings. Cannell chronicles the creation of all Pei's original structures, emphasizing the buildings that made him famous--the Kennedy Library and the National Gallery's East Building--as well as those that triggered controversies, such as the disaster-prone Hancock Tower in Boston and the Louvre pyramid. Urbane, diplomatic, and ardent, Pei has maintained a distinctive bicultural and aesthetic balance and retained an openness to fresh challenges, such as the design of the recently opened Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

就是大阪世界博覽會中國館的參予貝聿銘團隊而漸露頭角。
當年喻肇川幫萬戶建築師蘇 哲老師設計得了第二名，是I M Pei返台主持評選，第一名從缺，結果與王大閎競圖故宮博物院案事件後段有點類似，由主持委員接手轉為負責設計建築師。這事件，我與同學林哲共同以王錦堂老師的建築師事務所名也參加了。
那已是51年前的事（大四），還記得與林哲在峨眉街文星書店的對街野人咖啡地下廳談設計發想。往事只能回味！
竇克勤 業主慧眼識英雄，貝氏藝術館設計的才華，震驚世人。相信對其獲邀Musee du Louvre的擴展規劃設計，起了相當的作用。平民化的貴族 卡特、布朗（哈佛校友）是 貝聿銘的貴人，東翼博物館的成功他功不可沒。
