This week’s architect is Cesar Pelli, who has designed buildings all over the globe, including the World Financial Center in Manhattan and the world’s tallest edifice, the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Mr. Pelli, an Argentine by birth who lives in NY, says the place that sets him free is England’s Lake District: a scenic backdrop of countryside and coast in the Cumbria region.
