From 1979: Architect I.M. Pei on the JFK Library

I.M. Pei, one of the most heralded of 20th century architects, died on May 16, 2019 at the age of 102. In this "CBS Sunday Morning" report which aired on October 21, 1979, Pei talked with correspondent Marlene Sanders as they toured Boston's newly-dedicated John F. Kennedy Presidential Library (which he designed), and discussed creating a public space that captured the essence, and promise, of the man who was our nation's 35th president.

The library is truly brilliant and the ocean view is stunningly gorgeous. Mr.Pei was a phenomenal architect with great vision.

Mr. Pei was a brilliant man, well versed, & above all, honorable.

But unfortunately a horrible architect who made ugly buildings. Too bad he did not choose a different profession.

The Library was originally supposed to be on the corner of Memorial Drive and Boylston Street near Harvard Square. Boylston in Cambridge is now JFK Street and the site now hosts the Kennedy School of Government.

Love this! I can't wait to get my drone in the air and snag some shots of Denver (and Colorado). Thanks for sharing. 😀

My first time seeing him . . . Louvre.

[@andrenewcomb3708]

I've thought of a church. A pyramid would be in there also. ("seeing him" (interview) I was signing-off "Louvre" as reference my first knowledge of him) The church idea is from before "Da Vinci Code".

Compare President Kennedy's eloquence versus Clown Trump's mangling of the English language.
