Famed architect Ieoh Ming Pei, commonly known as I.M. Pei, died Wednesday, a spokesman at his New York architecture firm said. He was 102.

Pei was perhaps best known for transforming the Louvre Museum in Paris by erecting a giant glass pyramid on the site in 1989.

Among the many other notable buildings he designed include the John F. Kennedy Library in Boston, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC — and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland.

In New York, Pei designed the famed Four Seasons Hotel in Midtown, the only Pei-designed hotel in

the Western Hemisphere.

The limestone on the outside of the Four Seasons is the same stone he used in the expansion of the Louvre.

He was also behind New York projects such as the Silver Towers of University Village on the West Side, Kips Bay Towers on the East Side and the 11-story building for the Mission of Korea on East 45th Street near UN Headquarters.

Pei was born in Guangzhou, China, and raised in Hong Kong and Shanghai, before moving to the United States in 1935.

When he arrived in the US, he enrolled in the University of Pennsylvania’s architecture school before transferring to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
