About Pei Cobb Freed & Partners
Since its formation in 1955, Pei Cobb Freed & Partners (formerly I. M. Pei & Partners) has completed nearly 250 projects in over a hundred cities across North America and around the world. The firm's clients include major corporations, private developers and public authorities, as well as educational, cultural and religious institutions.
The partners and their colleagues approach every building project on its own terms, drawing inspiration less from formal or theoretical preconceptions than from particularities of place and program.
Although the firm's practice over the past five decades has been exceptionally diverse in terms of building type and setting, a central theme consistently evident in its built works is the conception of architecture as an art of place making — an art embodying above all else a concern for the quality of public space and public life.
