I.M. Pei’s designs are a big presence, locally and around the world

The famed architect I.M. Pei has died. He was 102. Pei had a number of ties to the area: He was a 1940 graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and was known for designing the John F. Kennedy Library and Museum in Dorchester.

You might not know that his work is also scattered across the MIT campus; one of the buildings he designed is the 21-story Green Building, which is Cambridge’s tallest structure. (Pei’s name is often attached to such Boston works as the Hancock Tower, the Christian Science Center, and Harbor Towers, but these were designed by other partners in his firm.)

Here’s a look at some of his work:

The Green Building (a.k.a. “Building 54”) opened in 1964, according to MIT’s website, and it hosts a number of departments.

You’re probably seen it on Instagram if friends share photos from their European excursions: the Louvre pyramid in Paris. It opened in 1989 and at one point was panned by many.

Pei said of the project: “All through the centuries, the Louvre has undergone violent change. The time had to be right [for change]. I was confident because this was the right time.”
