Architect I.M. Pei, who was born #OnThisDay in 1917, was the visionary mind behind some of the world’s most iconic buildings 🏛️ Rather than following the ‘form follows function’ principle of design, Pei believed in the modernist foundations of proportion, simplicity and geometry, adding audacious angles and structural daring. The result is a body of work that is instantly recognisable - here are a few examples... 1. Museum of Islamic Art, Doha 2. The Louvre Pyramid, Paris 3. National Gallery of Art – East Building, Washington D.C. Which of his works stands out to you? 📸 @garyfive
