In February at Guangzhou Design Week, Asia’s leading design industry event, PEI Architects was recognized for their 30 years of design excellence and awarded the 2022 Guangzhou Design Week Lifetime Achievement Award. Chien Chung (Didi) Pei, founding partner of PEI Architects, remarked: “We accept this award with gratitude and hope that our body of work will serve as an able ambassador for the creativity and excitement that the architectural experience brings to people here and around the world.” Didi’s brother and partner, Li Chung (Sandi) Pei, further commented: “We have been working in China for well over 50 years, since our father was one of the first international architects to build here in 1979 with the Fragrant Hills Hotel.  From those early days architectural design and construction in China has taken a leading role in the world both technologically and in the evocative design exploration that has been evident over the last decade.  We are privileged to have experienced this blossoming first hand where our partnerships with excellent clients throughout China have successfully produced many timeless, elegant monuments that enrich the communities they serve”. Accepting the award at the event on behalf of the firm was Richard Tsui, Pei Architect’s China representative.
