The Kennedy Library

 

My favorite part is the main lobby that looks out on Boston Harbor. The area pictured here where the American flag is.

Dallas has 4-5 downtown buildings which he designed.

Beautiful angles.  

Just like Frank Lloyd Wright...his designs can be spotted a mile away!

I knew he was that old, but what surprises me is how old he was when he designed the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio.   Seeing the building itself is worth the trip - I love the building which sits steps away from Lake Erie.  The building is fascinating from all angles.  

 

Groundbreaking for the RRHF took place in 1993 and the museum was dedicated in 1995, so I.M. Pei was pretty well into being a senior when that was built.

I love IM Pei! I had a documentary about him and I watched it a lot. His  face lit up and his eyes shined when he talked about his work. Rest In Peace. ❤️
