Cesar Pelli, pt. 1: UM Commencement 2007

President Donna E. Shalala introduces honorary degree recipient Cesar Pelli on May 11, 2007. Hailed as one of the ten most influential living American architects by the American Institute of Architects, Pelli's stunning work has transformed the world's great cities and skylines. Miami is a recent recipient of Pelli's genius—the new Carnival Center for the Performing Arts, designed by his firm, has reshaped the city's landscape and energized its cultural scene. His remarkable designs can be seen worldwide, gracing museums, major public spaces, airports, laboratories, performing arts centers, academic buildings, hotels, and office and residential towers. For his extraordinary contributions to architecture, for his innovations in design, and for his venerable role in educating the next generation of world-class architects, Cesar Pelli is receiving the degree of Doctor of Humane Letters, honoris causa, from the University of Miami.
