I M Pei - True Modern Architect

I completed watching the documentary about I.M. Pei, Pei is a true genius of Modern Architecture. His forms are derived from traditional motifs but strictly geometric. Use of materials, shape, color, texture predominates his designs in very subtle form. After Louis I Kahn I like Pei's work ; very creative at the same time very simplistic. I also like him as a person, he is humble and not egotistic like other big architects. I hope I will be able to see one of his buildings in the near future.

I M Pei

I am watching this video about great American Architect I.M. Pei.
I always liked Pei's work, especially National Gallery of Art addition in Washington. Striking geometry and clean lines are some of the characters of Pei's forms. I will write more once I complete watching the video.

Architecture of The Indian Subcontinent

For those who are interested in Indian Architecture must check this book out.
Takeo Kamiya is a Japanese Architect who traveled India for more than twenty years and collected these wonderful color images about Indian traditional architecture. I hope one day I could travel whole India to see the rich Architectural Heritage of my country.
