About the Author
Carter Wiseman, former architecture critic at New York Magazine, is a contributing editor of ARTnews. He has written on architecture and design for such publications as Newsweek, Architectural Record, Interior Design, and American Heritage.
From Library Journal
Chinese-American architect Pei has designed some of the most distinguished public buildings of the last four decades, from the Kennedy Library in Boston to the Louvre's controversial glass pyramid addition. This first book-length career survey traces Pei's rise from an MIT engineering student to head of an internationally renowned architectural firm. Journalist-author Wiseman anchors his readable text on 12 key commissions, but sometimes loses his way amid anecdotes of the rich and famous that do little to advance our understanding of Pei's architecture. Included are 340 color and black-and-white illustrations, a select bibliography, and a listing of works executed by the Pei firm. Recommended.
