M. Pei's work and life up close. The exhibition is divided into six major themes: I. M. Pei's cross-cultural heritage, real estate and urban redevelopment, art and public buildings, power, politics and patrons, material and structural innovation, and reinterpreting history through design. These sections showcase I. M. Pei's unique architectural techniques and integrate his works with society, culture, and his life trajectory. Life is like architecture, and architecture reflects life. Whispers in the Wind: It is recommended that non-civil engineering professionals do some research in advance or combine it with their own travels. For example, when viewing the Fragrant Hills Hotel, verify certain events of the year. Seeing the Louvre Pyramid, which was very controversial, I realized that I had taken a photo with Mr. Pei in the same position. Anyone who has visited Victoria Harbor has heard of the feng shui of the Bank of China Tower. See if Mr. Pei's design ideas were related to this back then. In the Suzhou Museum exhibition area, follow Mr. Pei to see what it looked like before it was built (video)...
