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.
