**Philip Johnson**

Philip Johnson also made a Skyscraper in New York called the Seagram Building. Philip Johnson also got help from Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, which is another architect. This building is a nice bronze and glass tower on Park Avenue. This building has 39 stories. The architectural style is an International Style. This building was built in 1957. In front of the Seagram Building it’s a sculpture he also made.

Philip Johnson

Philip Johnson’s recent design was for a new school of fine arts for Seton Hill College in Greensburg, Pennsylvania.
When Philip Johnson died, Cathedral of Hope in Dallas used his plans for a new school of fine arts at Seton Hill College in Greenburg, Pennsylvania. Philip Johnson’s early work is the Glass House, which is in New Canaan, Connecticut. Philip Johnson’s Glass House is now open to the public. In the glass house, they have many designs of Philip Johnson’s life.
Philip Johnson early work was part of what was called international style modernism. Most of all of Philip Johnson buildings are made of glass. All of his buildings are symmetrical. To me I think some of his buildings look the same. Philip Johnson puts a lot of effort into his art. Like some architects just build just because they can. John Burgee was the only one who could work for Philip. When Johnson died Mr. Burgee was in charge of his designs.
My favorite building by Philip Johnson is the Glass House. I like it because it is square and enough room for fifty people. The Glass House is in the country but it doesn’t look like it belongs there. If I lived in a glass house I would like it because it is different. Its nice but I worry about the sun and privacy. And I think it is beautiful to be able to see nature all the time.

Philip Johnson

In the year of 1949, Philip was brought up in Flushing New York. When he was a young boy he was staying in his Aunt Dorothy’s house. As Philip Johnson always says “I love that it’s a ruin because I love ruins. Everybody does I think. They just don’t love them enough to leave them. ”Meaning that all his structures was ruined but he really didn’t care because he likes when it’s ruined. Its better when its messed up so he can do it better. Johnson had many structures. But he really didn’t care about them. Philip Johnson also made several books. In the late 1920’s he became more interested architecture and the growing modern aesthetic.
Philip Johnson was a very hard worker in High School until he realized he wanted to be an architect. Soon as he realized he wanted to be an architect he always would get in trouble in school because he will always draw during class time. Philip Johnson attended many schools and he also would finish them. He attended Denny School, Seward School, Broadway School and he graduated from a school of design at Harvard. Mr. Johnson graduated in the year of 1943 then he joined the army. He went to a college called University of Washington and studied mechanical engineering.

Philip Johnson

Philip Johnson was born on July 8, 1906. He died on January 25, 2004. Philip was 98 years old when he past away. Before he died his long time friend David Whitney, who died a few months later, survived him. He died in the Glass House he designed. He was born in Cleveland, Ohio.
Mr. Johnson made several buildings before he passed away. He designed the Lipstick building, AT&T and the Glass House. He designed his first building at the age of 36. He actually designed his own New York City apartment. While Mr. Johnson was growing up he was into drawing and sketching on paper. Since Philip Johnson was so good at his work, he was a consultant to John Burgee Architects. Basically that was a part time job. But he was still working on his own work. Mr. Johnson also made a nice big Glass House.
