AMERICAN architect I. M. Pei, who designed the Bank of China building in Hongkong, has been commissioned to design a new museum of modern art in Athens. The US$30 million (about HK$234 million) museum is to house the Vasilis and Eliza Goulandris Foundation's collection of works by Greek and foreign artists. Pei, who was born in China, is considered one of the century's greatest architects.
