He was at the level of Frank Lloyd Wright, another legend.
Indiana just had a funeral for our Senator that was an Oxford Graduate back in the 60s, Richard Lugar.

@Vivaci Wright integrated homes into the surrounding nature. Pie had an incredible vision of geometry and abstract design that never existed for corporate style buildings. They both gave us beauty.

@Picklebobble2 Lugar was once know as Nixon’s favorite Mayor during the late 60s-early 70s. He was a forerunner of diplomacy when the US practiced that before war mongering.

@Pfuzylogic Yeah, I think Chicago owes it's beautiful prairie houses to this great man.

The experience of Louvre can't be described in words....one has to go there to feel the magnanimity of the Prism like some and the surrounding sights, and feel all senses together in one breath.

Thanks for sharing, PB. 🤗

RIP Mr Pei. 🥀

@Vivaci I once spent about four days going round La Louvre. Wonderful ! Still wonder if i saw as much as i could have.

Vivaci

@Picklebobble2 I agree....I myself have spent three whole days at the Louvre. Yet I wish I could go spend at least a week there, and enjoy the paintings again.

RIP. Love him, enormous talent but I’ve always thought of that glass prism as an eyesore juxtaposed against the gorgeous architecture of the Louvre.
