About Mr.Pei
• • • • Education: University of Pennsylvania Massachusetts Institute of Technology Harvard University
• The design that Pei developed for the Bank of China Tower was not only unique in appearance, but also sound enough to pass the city‘s rigorous standards for wind-resistance. • The tower was planned around a visible truss(束、捆) structure, which distributed stress to the four corners of the base(to make it stable) • Using the reflective glass that had become something of a trademark for him, Pei organized the facade(表 面) around a series of X shapes. At the top, he designed the roofs at sloping angles to match the rising aesthetic of the building.
