Li Chung Pei AIA, Partner
Li Chung (Sandi) Pei was educated at Harvard University where he earned his BA mcl in 1972 and MArch in 1976 from the Graduate School of Design. From 1976 until 1992 he practiced in the firm of I.M. Pei & Partners (since renamed Pei Cobb Freed & Partners) before leaving to establish Pei Partnership Architects.
In the course of over 30 years Mr. Pei has been involved in more than two dozen projects worldwide on building types ranging from educational facilities, laboratories, and museums to commercial office, hotel and residential projects. Among his award-winning projects are the MIT Arts + Media Technologies Facilities, Cambridge, MA (1982), the Creative Artists Agency Headquarters, Beverly Hills, CA (1989), the Bank of China Tower, Hong Kong (1990), and the Bank of China Head Office Building, Beijing, China (2002). Since the founding of Pei Partnership Architects, he has directed the design of over one million square meters of building and several large-scale urban development projects in the United States, Mexico, China, Indonesia and Singapore. Among his projects currently under construction are the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Headquarters in Beijing, a luxury condominium apartment building in New York City, and both a theater and a science center in Macao. He is currently charged with a landmark redevelopment along Shanghai’s famed waterfront and is designing a 90-story office tower in northern China.
In late 2006, the firm’s partners in close association with I.M. Pei, their father and mentor, dedicated the Suzhou Museum in the family’s ancestral home and in June 2008 will see completion of the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China – Chancery Building in Washington, D.C.
Mr. Pei has extensive experience in the fields of education and the arts including board membership and trusteeship of schools, civic organizations and professional associations. He has lectured widely, participated as a critic at several schools of architecture and as juror to the National Endowment for the Arts and to international competitions. He is a former Director of the AIA/New York Chapter and serves as Vice President of the International Council of the Museum of Modern Art.
