One of I.M Pei’s many feats includes the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art. One of the key challenges of this building was that they didn’t want to obstruct the view of the Cayuga Lake. The most noticeable feature is the 5th floor that towers over the garden on the ground floor. The 5th floor comes out horizontally as not to obstruct the natural views while also serving as a beautiful viewing area. The building was awarded the American Institute of Architects Honor Award in 1975. The building is used to house many different exhibits of art and is also sometimes used by Cornell University to aid in teaching courses.
