The world of epic space has gathered at the Jargonautical Club in Mayfair to honour IM Pei with its prestigious Architectural Shibboleth Award. This is for landmark figures who make everyone in the world of design feel 'that little bit special'. Pei, or 'TM' as he's cxotically known by insiders, has got the award for his Difficult Punning Name. A sub-editor at the Daily Mail, for instance, might headline a story about how Britain's apparently not good enough for his buildings with 'Who's Had All The Peis?' Whereas the Creative On Sunday, with its commitment to the plastic arts, might celebrate his thoughts on visual composition with a feature titled 'Pei And Display'.
