Ieoh Ming Pei, commonly known as I. M. Pei, is a Chinese-born American architect often called the master of modern architecture. In 1948 Mr. Pei was recruited by New York real estate magnate William Zeckendorf.
An architectural style that emerged around early 1960s and was against the architectural styles advocated by Le Corbusier and Ludwig vies Van der Rohe.
Postmodern architecture is a reaction and evolution to the modern architecture that came before it. Not only did designers begin to make use of new innovations, but at the same time they appropriated design elements from the past. Buildings became an eclectic mix of old and new as the old "Form follows function" mantra was forgotten. One of the iconic postmodern examples is the Sony Building in New York City.
As with many cultural movements, some of postmodernism's most pronounced and visible ideas can be seen in architecture. The functional and formalized shapes and spaces of the modernist movement are replaced by aesthetics: form is adopted for its own sake, and new ways of viewing familiar styles and space abound.
Classic examples of modern architecture are the Lever House and the Seagram Building in commercial space, and the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright or the Bauhaus movement in private or communal spaces.
Transitional examples of postmodern architecture are the Portland Building in Portland, Oregon and the Sony Building in New York City, which borrows elements and references from the past and reintroduces color and symbolism to architecture.

thGAP - Transgenic Human Germline Alternatives Project, presents an evening of input lectures, discussions and a performative workshop on artistic interventions for future scenarios of human genetic and inheritable modifications.
To begin our lecturers, Marc Dusseiller aka "dusjagr" and Rodrigo Martin Iglesias, will give an overview of their transdisciplinary practices, including the history of hackteria, a global network for sharing knowledge to involve artists in hands-on and Do-It-With-Others (DIWO) working with the lifesciences, and reflections on future scenarios from the 8-bit computer games of the 80ies to current real-world endeavous of genetically modifiying the human species.
We will then follow up with discussions and hands-on experiments on working with embryos, ovums, gametes, genetic materials from code to slime, in a creative and playful workshop setup, where all paticipant can collaborate on artistic interventions into the germline of a post-human future.

1. I.M. PEI
(1917-Present)
Global Architect
I.M Pei is a Chinese-American architect,
known for his creative use of modern
architecture, in combination with natural
elements and open spaces.
2. Overview of I.M. PEI
• Pei has designed more than fifty projects in this country
and abroad, many of which have been award-winners.
• I.M. Pei is known for using large, abstract forms and sharp,
geometric designs. His glass-clad structures seem to spring
from the high-tech modernist movement.
3. What does an Architect Do?
• Architects design all kinds of buildings. They design schools and
skyscrapers. They design hospitals and hotels. They also design plain old
regular houses.
• Any building that is used by people was probably designed by some
architect.
• Before constructing a building, an architect needs to draw a plan of the
building. Sometimes architects will make a cardboard or plastic model of
the building.
• The building is then built by a construction company which follows the
directions of the plans for the building. The architect will closely supervise
the construction company to make sure that the building is built according
to the plans.
4. Early Years
• I.M. Pei (Ieoh Ming Pie) was born in China on April 26,
1917.
• Pei is one of five children.
• Pei is the son of a banker and an artistic mother, who
took him to see dreamy Chinese gardens as a child.
Pei was quoted later in life as saying,
"These have always been the most important inspiration to me as an architect.”
"I have never forgotten those gardens: wonderful marriages of man-made and
natural design. I've come back to them again and again; they are my guide.”
5. More Early Years
• When Pei was 10, he moved with his family to Shanghai.
• His early schooling was rigorous, only allowing one half day
off per week for leisure.
• Pei used this time playing pool and watching Hollywood
movies.
• He also learned basic English by reading the Bible.
• A theme in Pei’s family was always to help the less fortunate.
6. Education
• At 17, Pei traveled to America and attended The University of
Pennsylvania.
• He then transferred to Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
where he earned a bachelors degree in architecture in 1940.
• Pei continued his studies at Harvard University’s Graduate School
of Design, where he earned a Master’s Degree in Architecture.
• In 1944, Pei returned to Harvard University as an Associate
Professor.
7. Career: Urban Focus
• 1948, Pei joined a New York-based architecture firm, but left soon
after to start his own firm.
• One of his first projects was the Mile High Center in Denver,
Colorado.
• The curved glass was inspired by the round rocks and winding rivers
like the gardens he visited as a child with his mother.
8. Career: Urban Focus
• By 1955, I.M. Pei & Partners was well underway.
• Pei took on Kips Bay Towers in New York City, paying such
close attention to detail that he would examine the cement to
ensure consistency in color.
• 1958, Pei designed the Royal Bank Plaza in Montreal, Canada.

According to the Canadian
Encyclopedia, “its grand
plaza designed by
internationally US famous
architect I.M. Pei, helped to
set new standards for
architecture in Canada in the
late 1960’s.”
9. Urban Focus: Society Hill, Philadelphia
-Pei designed Society Hill Towers and the surrounding townhouses, to conform to
the existing colonial architecture of the neighborhood.
-It is considered a landmark in the heart of what was destined to be one of the
world’s finest urban residential centers.
-Nothing like this had ever been planned on such a grand scale in the center of a
major American city.

before.
10. Kennedy Library
• After being hand-picked by President Kennedy’s widow, Jacqueline
Kennedy, to design the Kennedy Library, Pei said it was the most important
commission of his life.
• The project took much longer than it was supposed to (completed in
1979), and it’s location was changed from Harvard Square to Cambridge,
Massachusetts.
• Pei did not love the outcome, but it did boost his reputation as an
architect.
11. Le Grand Louvre
• 1981, Pei was asked to revitalize The Louvre
Museum in Paris, France.
• The entrance he created for this structure has
become his most recognizable piece of work.
• He proposed at the center there be a glass and
steel pyramid. It was mirrored by another
inverted pyramid to reflect sunlight into the
room.
• Many believed Pei’s plans were not feasible and
too risky.
12. More Louvre
• Pei was forced to design a full-sized ‘mock’
pyramid to place in the courtyard before his design
was approved.
• More than 60,000 people came to the courtyard to
view his ‘model’ of the pyramid.
• After winning approval, the Louvre courtyard was
opened to the public in 1989.
• Pei said, “After the Louvre, I thought no project
would ever be too difficult.”
