This project is the first-ever comprehensive list of Lee\u2019s projects in New York. Lee\u2019s hand is visible in the major civic architecture of Chinatown post 1945, which blends stylistically Chinese details with modern technologies and materials. Lee was the architectural consultant for the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association\u2019s building on Mott Street (1959) and the On Leong Tong Merchant\u2019s Association at Mott &amp; Canal Street (1948-50) \u2013 the most prominent Chinese modern building in Chinatown. Among his highly visible commissions, Lee designed the Chinese American WWII Monument in Kimlau Square (1962), a modernist take on a traditional Chinese pailou, or ceremonial gate; the Lee Family Association (ca. 1950); and the Pagoda Theatre (1963, demolished).<\/p>\n<p>For more information visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mocanyc.org\/exhibitions\/rediscovering_the_hybrid_modernism_of_poy_gum_lee\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.mocanyc.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sunday, March 27 Museum of Chinese in America 215 Centre Street New York, NY 10013<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-60426","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-stay-connected-to-the-latest-local-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60426","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/29"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=60426"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60426\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":60428,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60426\/revisions\/60428"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=60426"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=60426"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=60426"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
