Espetácular

I have no dog in this fight. But the history of Pei includes a lot of dogs. I got interested in this guy because I bought a photo of him by a famous photographer. (Karsh) And I studied his work, as I lived around the world. -The HK Chinese blamed him for the sharp edges in the Bank of China Building for being extremely bad feng shui and blame his building for causing major problems for HK. The sharp edges shred Hong Kong, supposedly. Shocking he would not know these basics about feng shui. -The Hancock Building in Boston was a big flop which led to a lot of lawsuits for the design flaws which led to the windows breaking when it was completed. Litigation lasted for years between Pei's firm, the glass makers and the owners. -The Pei Plan to rejuvenate Oklahoma city had very mixed results. *read was a flop. -Javits Convention Center in NYC had huge cost overruns, and most New Yorkers do not like it, from my time there. -The Pyramid for the Louvre was very controversial. My opinion- weird but not bad. I liked the light but why use pyramids when you are talking about European culture. -lots of structural problems in his first giant project, The National Center for Atmospheric Research near Boulder, Colorado. The clay soil shifted and caused huge cracks that were expensive to repair. On the other hand, many of his buildings, including the ones above became key landmarks for the cities in which they were built. I would love to know from some of the people who worked in his buildings about whether they were pleasant buildings to actually return to, on a daily basis. I might even do my very first youtube video to ask this question. I am interested.

I am not a fan of the pyramid nevertheless I think it is a very talented Man. The pyramid has beauty !!

5:39 I can tell she is really interested on the topic 🤣🤣🤣
