John, perhaps I.M. Pei's name has become a byword for modernist architect, as in: "Our architecure program has produced quite a few Peis and a couple of Mieses, too." A more likely plural, however, would be if Pei is understood metonymically: "While everyone else was getting excited about deconstructivist architecture, she devoted herself to the buildings of late modernism and traveled the world photographing Peis and Safdies." Well, it's possible. I guess all I am saying is, give Peis a chance.
