At this time of sadness, we wish to express our profound respect for the esteemed mentor, colleague, and friend who founded and led our firm from 1955 to 1990.
I. M. Pei’s collaborative and inclusive approach to the practice of architecture, joined with his brilliant insight and unique poetic sensibility, established an enduring culture of creativity.
We celebrate his principled commitment to the highest aspirations of our profession, from city building to the smallest technical detail.
