Main contribution

Architecture incorporates the concept of natural space, which dominates Bayesian life works. "Let the light do the design" is a famous saying of Bayesian. As a top architect in the world, he has contributed to the renovation of old districts and the development of new districts in Montreal, Denver, Philadelphia, Boston, new york, Dallas, Singapore and Beijing. As an architect in China, when all architects in China look to the west, he devotes himself to developing his own architectural language for China. He carefully combines modern architectural art with the traditional architectural features of China. In addition, he also cooperated with China Institute of Architectural Science to train and train architects in China, which has made important contributions to the modernization of architecture in China.

I.M. Pei is regarded as the most influential architect. His design is concise, neat, reasonable and orderly, which is a portrayal of Bayes' works. The improvement and continuous research on the situation, space, building materials and technology are the reasons for the improvement of his architectural standards and the essence of his works, which is also the main reason for Pei's immortality in architecture and his works.
