Philip Johnson (1906-2005) is one of the twentieth century's most influential architects and critics—known both as an ardent proponent of the Modern style and, later, for his Postmodernist buildings. His most well-known projects include the Glass House in New Canaan, Connecticut (1949) ; the Seagram Building with Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1958), the New York State Theater with John Burgee (1964), and the AT&T Building (1984), all in New York ; and the John F.
Kennedy Memorial in Dallas, Texas (1970). Johnson is also celebrated for his role as the first director of the Department of Architecture of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. He received the inaugural Pritzker Prize in 1979. Ian Volner has contributed articles on architecture, design, and urbanism to the Wall Street Journal, Architectural Digest, the New Republic, Harper's, Artforum, the Atlantic, and the New Yorker online among other publications, and is a contributing editor at Architect.
