    what a privilege to be in the presence of this man! He comes across as a humble person, able to talk honestly about his life and designs.

    I'm crazily in love with his Pittsburgh PPG Place!!!!! Philip Johnson is one of the best of the best men to have ever lived.

      +JeffGR4 The PPG Building is called the "Crown Jewel of Pittsburgh" and rightfully so. I am from Pittsburgh and drove by the site every day as they built it. Then later I moved to LA and saw Johnson's Crystal Cathedral Church and Bell Tower - amazing works.

      Seriously? ..."one of the best of the best men to have ever lived" because of his enthusiastic support of Adolf Hitler? That's tongue in cheek, right?

    He never had an architectural idea, just followed the day's fashion.

    The AT&T building discussed here was completed in 1984. Now called the Sony building. Located in Manhattan at 550 Madison Avenue.

    Does anyone else love that this man studied Philosophy and English as an Undergraduate? I grew up with someone, someone I don't particularly like, though do respect his talent and his intelligence - people may recall the New Yorker Magazine piece on Eric Owen Moss: His Patron states that upon arriving at Moss's Office to find him reading the collected poetry of Eliot cemented his choice of Moss. A catalog of knowledge is perhaps the most invaluable thing around.

    This man makes me want to be an architect sooo bad. It's too bad college keeps fucking me up the ass and is preventing me from following that dream.

    askmum; off course it is!!!!!!, human need is the foundation of every design, research, investigation, etc. off all ages in history.
    you're not writing contradictory statements, you're actually exposing remarkable ideas.

    Sad. Petulant attitude to critics & public really comes through. To say that making a good interior and interior is some kind of lofty aspiration is tantamount to admission of failure on behalf of the whole modernist establishment.

    "I can't draw" That makes me so happy. I want to be an architect but still my drawing is the worst among other classmates

      Most well known architects cant draw well.

    He made a few good buildings and many that were not so good. I don't think that he made any singularly great buildings like Mies or Le Corbusier or Eero Saarinen. Some of Johnson's most prominent buildings are pictured here on Wikipedia (it's OK to Leave TH-cam page) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Johnson

    So classical architects are just a snarky as classical musicians. No boby ever wins but they feel better;..who did go to school. , at lease don't tell young people to not go to school. They need to fix the right situation Not every one can be self-taught.

    If anyone can point me to a university that actually teaches architecture now I would go. Even at my age. So far, I cannot find one.

      Really? Cooper Union if you're good, MIT isn't bad, or the University of New Mexico (where I went), there are hundreds to choose from. Cornell, University of Miami, I could go on and on.

    meh, a fervent ex-nazi pseudo-modernist born again post-modernist who's best building was his first building which was practically a copy of Mies' Farnsworth House. Only a tad overrated.

    A profoundly overrated architect. Did do some wonderful modern houses, entirely out of sight, in Manhattan.

    • @tranzco1173
      @tranzco1173 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      What? He did the Glass House! Probably one of the most iconic homes in the USA, and I toured it twice!
