A LASTING ARCHITECTURE

I.M. PEI (1917/2019)

"Contemporary architects tend to impose modernity on something. There is a certain concern for history but it’s not very deep. I understand that time has changed, we have evolved. But I don’t want to forget the beginning. A lasting architecture has to have roots." -- I.M. Pei

"He seemed to approach each commission thinking only of it and then develop a way to make something beautiful." -- Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis
