Get a fresh perspective of I. M. Pei's architectural legacy through behind-the-scenes accounts from Sherman Kung and Simon Shu, who closely worked with Pei on the design of Sunning Plaza (1977-1982), Bank of China Tower (1982-1989), MUDAM Luxembourg (1989-2006) and Miho Institute of Aesthetics Chapel (2007-2012). From site selection to construction and finishing, get an insight into the values that informed Pei's design approach and decision-making.
