Johnson, Philip

Johnson, Philip (Cortelyou)

(1906– ) architect and author; born in Cleveland, Ohio. His groundbreaking book, The International Style (1932, with Henry-Russell Hitchcock), coined the term and promoted the style. After studying with Walter Gropius and Marcel Breuer in the early 1940s, he designed small modernist houses and institutional buildings; in partnerships after the late 1960s, he turned to large, urban buildings that ushered in postmodernist architecture by incorporating historical references. His prescient designs and widely published writings have combined to make him uniquely influential in contemporary architecture.

Johnson, Philip

Born July 8, 1906, in Cleveland. American architect. Student and colleague of Mies van der Rohe.

Developing the principles of his teacher, Johnson built a glass home in New Canaan, Conn., in the form of a cube in 1949. He later combined contemporary architectural principles and materials with free stylizations of traditional architectural forms (neo-classical, Gothic, ancient Roman, and Near and Far Eastern medieval styles). Among Johnson’s designs are the Museum of Modern Art (New York, 1951, 1965), the Amon Carter Museum of Western Art (Fort Worth, 1961), the dome of a nuclear reactor (Israel, 1960), and the State Theater at Lincoln Center (New York, 1964).
