The M+ museum's exhibition "I. M. Pei: Life Is Architecture" features 400 objects showcasing the influential work of architect I. M. Pei over six decades.
Architectural historian K. Michael Hays has raised important questions regarding Pei's under-theorization compared to peers, suggesting future scholarship needs to address this gap.
Beatriz Colomina's work argues modern architecture engages with media, manifestos, and exhibitions, which are essential for establishing a public identity and narrative for architects.
The retrospective seeks not only to honor Pei's legacy but also to provoke discussions on his scholarship and theorization relative to contemporaries, enhancing architectural discourse.
