On June 29, 2024 Aslıhan was in HK at M+ for the opening talk of IM Pei’s singular comprehensive exhibition ‘Architecture is Life: IM Pei’. The opening talk reflected on how Pei exercised his values on architecture, cities, and life through personal accounts of people who have worked closely with Pei. Exhibition co-curator Shirley Surya was joined by the architect Li Chung (Sandi) Pei, partner and founder of PEI Architects, Calvin Tsao, and Aslıhan Demirtaş—all of whom had contributed to the design of Pei’s major projects.
