Passage 1
Ieoh Ming Pei is definitely one of the biggest names in architecture. Born in China in
1917, Pei was the son of a prominent banker. He grew up mostly in Hong Kong and Shanghai.
At the age of 17, Pei left for the United Slates to study architecture at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology and then Harvard University.
Pci attracted great attention in the U.S. for the John F. Kennedy Library in Boston, but
it was the Louvre Pyramid that brought him worldwide fame. In 1981, the newly elected
President of France came up with an ambitious plan for a variety of construction projects,
including the renovation of the Louvre Museum. Pei was invited to join the renovating team.
Pei finally agreed to take on the project after three secretive trips to Paris.
