《貝聿銘-現代主義泰斗》
貝聿銘
貝聿銘所到之處都引人注意。儘管它長袖善舞、八面玲瓏,與企業大老闆、藝術家和國家元首交情匪淺,私底下的貝聿銘仍是難以捉摸的。恍如童年時代四面高牆的祖宅,它的內心世界不是西方人所能了解的;;即使是他以前的合夥人也表示不曾真正跟他親近過。解開這謎團的線索就在上海複雜的社會階級,甚至在古老庭園的石頭和潺潺流水之間。
這是一本有關建築物和權力、移民和同化、美式奔放和中式收斂、實用主義和華麗報導、東方和西方的傳記。書中附有珍貴照片幾十幀,均為貝聿銘和世界名人合照及其代表性建築作品:如中國香山飯店、香港中銀大廈、甘迺迪紀念圖書館、美國國家藝廊東廂、巴黎羅浮宮金字塔等膾炙人口的經典之作。

Editorial Reviews
Master architect Pei's clean and elegant buildings are well known, but the man himself remains somewhat of an enigma, even to those closest to him. Cannell, who writes for Time and the New Yorker, couldn't penetrate Pei's mask, but he does offer a rich and vivid portrait that captures the essence of Pei's charm, vitality, and success. Born into a wealthy and influential Chinese family, Pei grew up in Shanghai where he received a Western education, became enamored of American culture, and chose to study in the U.S. He arrived here in the 1930s, and his academic prowess carried him to Harvard and Walter Gropius' influential circle. But Pei, more a man of action than theory, left teaching to build buildings. Cannell chronicles the creation of all Pei's original structures, emphasizing the buildings that made him famous--the Kennedy Library and the National Gallery's East Building--as well as those that triggered controversies, such as the disaster-prone Hancock Tower in Boston and the Louvre pyramid. Urbane, diplomatic, and ardent, Pei has maintained a distinctive bicultural and aesthetic balance and retained an openness to fresh challenges, such as the design of the recently opened Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
