Excited
Yesterday, I. M. Pei was profiled as he returned to China in order to design a modern museum to house the antiquities of Suzhou — where he grew up — in an episode of PBS’s series, American Masters. There are many of Pei’s designs I’ve seen in person, including the art museum at Cornell University and the Louvre Pyramid, but my all-time favorite design (probably of any modern building), is the Bank of China Tower in Hong Kong – especially seeing it at night from the Hong Kong harbor.
