I. M. Pei's glittering addition to the Louvre Museum in Paris has already become an iconic emblem of France's past and future. It is as immediately recognisable as the Eiffel Tower and as mysterious as the Egyptian pyramids it references. This book looks at the Louvre pyramid, beginning with the earliest sketches by Pei and his lead design architect, Yann Weymouth, and includes photographs of the entire construction process. It contains details about the unique engineering and architectural considerations--from the pyramid's highly polished glass to its intricate system of girders and cables. This volume also features a preface by the architect himself. AUTHOR: Philip Jodidio is the author of numerous books on architecture, including Architecture: Art, Architecture: Nature, Under the Eaves of Architecture, and the Aga Khan Museum Toronto (all with Prestel).

There are many things that make the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, unique. There is no other museum in the world where you'd have to walk eight miles to see everything. Many famous paintings, including Mona Lisa, are kept there. While many people might know about the Louvre, not everyone knows it wasn't always a museum. In this book, we will go way back, back before the Louvre held paintings, before kings or Nazis lived inside. We'll go all the way back to when it was a fortress on a hill, built to defend Paris from Viking invader, then trace its architectural history through I.M. Pei's breathtaking new entrance, the Louvre Pyramid. Book jacket.

The recent vast expansion, transformation and reorganization of the Louvre, and the building of I.M. Pei's controversial glass pyramid in its midst, has drawn attention to the architecture of this extraordinary building - a building which for eight hundred years has been at the center of French history and culture, and to which France's greatest architects, sculptors and painters have given their most inspired work. Beneath the ground, but now easily accessible to visitors, are substantial remains of the medieval castle. It is time, for a new assessment of the Louvre's architectural history. Genevieve Bresc, provides an authoritative guide to every period, including the army of artists and craftsmen who enriched its interiors. Two hundred seductive color plates by the leading architectural photographer Keiichi Tahara reveal the Louvre in all its glory as it has never been seen before.

Famed architect I. M. Pei first came to international prominence with the Grand Louvre project, first presented (and scorned) in 1984. That now-celebrated glass pyramid confirmed his place among the world-class architects. Buildings for which he became known include the Kennedy Library, the East Building of the National Gallery, in Washington, D.C., the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York and the Bank of China Building in Hong Kong. Exterior and interior views are shown of close to fifty structures. Over 80 photographs chart the development of his major commissions and illustrate the range and talent of this quiet master, and his effect on the cityscapes of the world.

Born within a culture that is thousands of years old, I.M. Pei, the last master of high modernist architecture, places great value on the durability and lasting relevance of his buildings. Pei is also driven by a profound intellectual curiosity about the contexts in which his structures are built, and by his desire to express, through these structures, the cultural characteristics of the environment surrounding them. It is this tireless curiosity and dedication to context that distinguishes the architect's work from that of his peers. Assouline is proud to present Pei's final challenge: to find the essence of Islamic architecture in the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha, Qatar. Pei drew upon the Islamic tradition to create a work that is not a relic of the past, but a living reflection of our time. The results featured in this gorgeous volume will fascinate anyone curious about the origins and development of Islamic architecture.
