I. M. Pei’s faceted museum

Completed in 1978, the East Building of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., was designed by I. M. Pei around a triangular site. Its angular geometry and daylight-filled atrium made it a landmark of late modern museum design.

This miniature captures the building’s crisp planes and architectural confidence. It offers a compact reference to Pei’s ability to turn difficult geometry into memorable public space.
