César
Pelli
César Pelli (1926–2019) was an Argentine-American architect celebrated for his sleek, high-rise structures that redefined urban skylines. His firm, Pelli Clarke & Partners, designed some of the world’s tallest and most recognizable buildings, including the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, the International Finance Centre in Hong Kong, and the Salesforce Tower in San Francisco. Pelli’s architecture combined glass facades, structural efficiency, and elegant urban integration, making him a leader in postmodern and contemporary skyscraper design. Awarded the AIA Gold Medal (1995), his legacy endures in his transformative contributions to modern cityscapes.
