The PAX Monographs editorial team is pleased to announce the second issue in the series: I.M. PEI in CAIRO.
For the second issue we look into the narratives around I.M. Pei and his work by situating the architect and his international language of pyramids, ziggurats and pharaonic buildings in their place of origin: Egypt. Pei in Cairo examines the readings of these forms and the architect’s career once it becomes contextual in a place where they may be read as local rather than as part of a repertoire of international monumentality. Situating Pei in Cairo - the ‘Mother of the World’ - asks what context, monumentality and heritage mean for the built environment today.
