I.M. Pei’s Miho Museum, on a mountain ridge in a nature preserve in Shiga Prefecture, Japan, an hour’s drive from Kyoto. The Miho Museum houses Mihoko Koyama’s private collection of Asian and Western antiques belonging to Mihoko Koyama (after whom it is named), the heiress to the Toyobo textile business, and one of the richest women in Japan. This photo shows the tunnel leading into the museum that cuts through the mountain. It`s a 200-metre curve, silent and echoless, and ends with the cables of a half suspension bridge 120 meters across a deep, narrow gorge. Its a stunning museum. If you`re ever in Japan, please check out this hidden gem. !

“In 1983 i.m.pei was offered the ‘grand Louvre’ project by the / French government. / ‘one of my conditions prior to accepting the commission… / was to see if there was something I could do… / the Louvre was built in parts successively since the 12th century, / first as a donjon, then as a palace… / the problem was how to make (it) into a modern museum. / the Louvre had lots of exhibition space… / but was totally lacking in infrastructure… / after three secret ‘private’ visits…I said to myself, / ‘yes, I am going to try.’ Besides creating two large glass covered courtyards to house / sculptures, pei’s design also included the excavation of two / other courtyards in order to create storage and infrastructure / space. / pei’s pyramid design was very controversial and ‘maybe 90% / of the people of Paris were opposed to it at the beginning’, / although now almost everyone loves it. / in fact it is considered one of the landmarks of Paris, / together with the Eiffel tower. “The glass pyramid is a symbol that defines the entry to the / Louvre. it is placed precisely at the center of gravity of the / three pavilions…it assumes the function of a symbolic entry to a huge / complex of meandering interconnected buildings / which had no center.” But why a pyramid? why not a cylinder or a cone? / “Formally, it is the most compatible with the architecture of the Louvre… / it is also one of the most structurally stable of forms, / which assures its transparency… / as it is constructed of glass and steel, / it signifies a break with the architectural traditions of the past. / it is a work of our time.” (from the book “conversations with i.m. pei”) Camera Specs: Nikon D 50.

No, your eyes are not playing tricks, how the heck this old place was still standing, I don’t know. / Taken on PEI. If anyone does have anymore info on this place, I would love to hear about it. These old houses are subject to some harsh conditions in the maritimes and if they get the least bit neglected they fade away. First the paint starts to peel, then it’s only a matter of time before the winters, winds and rains wear them down to the ground. There’s always something about an abandoned house that’s intriguing. They stand helpless to the elements while hopelessly guarding all their stories inside.

The variations in the tone and contrast are from the sun/cloud mixture in the fky that day. Hyatt Center is an office tower in Chicago completed in 2005. The 48 story skyscraper stands at 679 feet (207 m) on 71 South Wacker Drive. Pei Cobb Freed & Partners’ striking elliptical steel and glass design is reminiscent of Tour EDF, a skyscraper in Paris, France designed by the same firm. The 1,765,000 square foot (164,000 m²) building contains 65,000 cubic yards (50,000 m³) of concrete and 12,000 tons of structural steel. It took about 2,700 truckloads to excavate the building’s foundation, and 1,300,000 man hours over nearly two years to finish. 28 high speed elevators serve Hyatt Center. The building features extensive landscaping both inside and outside from bamboo groves, complete with fountains, lining the modern lobby to lush green grass in raised curved stone planters that surround the building. The Hyatt Center also contains art panels by Keith Tyson and a trompe l’oeil mural by Ricci Albenda. The anchor tenant of the building is Mayer Brown LLP, which occupies floors 32-45 and shares the floor 2 cafe with a few of the other tenants.
