Ieoh Ming Pei was known as the master of modern architecture (建筑). He designed (设计) many famous buildings and landmarks around the world.

Pei was born in Guangzhou in 1917. He grew up in a family that valued education and traditional art. Suzhou was his ancestral hometown. Pei spent most of his childhood holidays there. During those holidays, he would visit the gardens whenever he had time. Seeing those rocks, stone bridges and waterfalls, he began to show interest in them. At the age of ten, Pei moved with his family to Shanghai. The city’s international architectural style had a strong influence on him. He decided to become an architect. In 1935, Pei went abroad to study. When he was 38, he started his company in New York. In 1983, he won the Pritzker Prize, the highest honor in architecture.

One of Pei’s most famous works is the glass pyramid in front of the Louvre Museum (卢浮宫) in Paris, which was designed in 1989. It showed his idea—let light design the buildings. Many people disliked it because it was so different from the traditional architecture at that time. But today, it is one of the most popular places in France. Suzhou Museum is another work of his. It opened in2006 and became a must-go place later. Pei explained, “It should belong to Suzhou, but also to the world. It should be traditional, yet modern.” He left over 50 designs during his life.

Pei passed away in 2019 at the age of 102. His designs are regarded as the gifts to the world.

(   ) 24. Where did Pei begin to show interest in gardens?

A. In Suzhou.  B. In Guangzhou.  C. In Shanghai.
