César Pelli (October 12, 1926 – July 19, 2019) was an Argentine-American architect who designed some of the world's tallest buildings and other major urban landmarks. Shortly after graduating from University in Argentina, he won a scholarship to study at the University of Illinois for one year.

His experiences there led to a job offer from Eero Saarinen, which brought Cesar into the orbit of one of the most influential architects of his generation where he embraced a highly creative, energetic, and inclusive studio culture. A passionate educator and thinker, Cesar went on to serve as Dean of the Yale School of Architecture and founded the firm with Fred Clarke and Diana Balmori in 1977.

The American Institute of Architects named him one of the ten most influential living American architects in 1991 and awarded him the AIA Gold Medal in 1995. In 2008, the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat presented him with The Lynn S. Beedle Lifetime Achievement Award.
