Pelli was born in 1926 in Tucum\u00e1n, Argentina and he studied architecture at the Universidad Nacional de Tucum\u00e1n before moving to the United States to attend the University of Illinois School of Architecture. After graduating, Pelli joined the studio of\u00a0Eero Saarinen, where he worked for 10 years on several projects, such as the\u00a0TWA terminal at JFK Airport, which improved his experience and inspired him further in his path to architecture greatness.<\/p>\n

In 1977 Pelli established his own firm Cesar Pelli & Associates, which he would run for the next four decades, with the name changing to\u00a0Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects\u00a0in 2005, but it was earlier, in 1995, that he was awarded the AIA Gold Medal.<\/p>\n
