Answer 2

Answer:

C. Pei used transparent glass to frame the views outside while Niemeyer used stained glass to create a heavenly light inside.

Explanation:

The Louvre Pyramid is located at the entrance of the Louvre Museum. This was commissioned by the President of France François Mitterrand in 1984, and designed by Chinese-American architect I.M. Pei. The structure is made of glass and metal poles, and the glass is transparent in order to frame the views outside.

On the other hand, when Oscar Niemeyer created the Metropolitan Cathedral in Brasilia, he used stained glass work by Marianne Peretti in shades of blue, green, white and brown. This glass was intended to create a heavenly light inside.
