The Glass Pyramid: A Story of the Louvre Museum and Architect I. M. Pei
Autor Jeanne Walker Harvey Ilustrat de Khoa Leen Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 mai 2025 – vârsta până la 8 ani
In 1981, I. M. Pei was on a mission. A successful architect known for his modern designs, Pei was asked by the French president to redesign the Louvre Museum in Paris, home to the Mona Lisa and now famous for the glass pyramid at its center. At the time, the Louvre had many problems and no pyramid.
Pei faced many obstacles, including discrimination because he was Chinese American. Determined to succeed and make the Louvre a welcome place for all, Pei worked hard—and sometimes in secret. This is the story of a visionary who worked patiently and persistently to solve problems and achieve his goals: to plant and grow a glass pyramid.
