Features of I.M. Pei's works:

First, the characteristics of light.

Light is the color of the building. "Let light do the design" is a famous saying of Bayes. In his works, the combination of light and space makes the space change endlessly. The entrance of the Louvre pyramid in Paris introduces a lot of light into the death museum, so that the past history can be bathed in today's sunshine.

Second, glass fiber reinforced plastic

Because of the characteristics of glass itself-transparency and reflection, and the transparency of glass will not block and damage the facade of the original building, it not only conforms to Bayes' pursuit of sunshine, but also makes the original building complex not weakened in vision and space principle, and can fully express the architect's architectural thoughts. Coupled with light and human movement, the whole space is endowed with vitality. .

Third, the clever use of coagulation.

Bayesian pays attention to the study of concrete, excavates its mechanical characteristics and visual expressive force, integrates structure and decoration in architectural design, and is faithful to the expressive force of material texture, thus pushing the application of concrete to a new height.
