AIA 1995 Gold Medalist Cesar Pelli Dies at Age 92

摘要

Architect Cesar Pelli, whose buildings changed the landscape in cities the world over, died July 19 at age 92. Pelli, winner of the American Institute of Architects' 1995 Gold Medal, stayed involved with design reviews until about a week before his death. "Cesar would tell you he loved all his projects," says Fred W. Clarke, senior design principal of Pelli Clarke Pelli (PCP), who worked with Pelli for half a century. But several stand out as his most "cherished and transformative," says Clarke, calling Pelli's approach to architecture, "joyous."
