The Louvre Pyramid by IM Pei was one of the most controversial of President Mitterrands´ Grand Projets:


Entitled Le Grand Louvre, the design completed in 1981 involved a glass pyramid central to the courtyard allowing better access and circulation into these famous Parisian galleries.

I M Pei & Partners were formed in 1966 and received the American Institute of Architects 1968 Architectural Firm Award. I M Pei & Partners have since become Pei Cobb Freed & Partners: their office is in New York.
