I contend that Philip Johnson's twee Glass House is the story of the emperor's new clothes rendered as architecture, or possibly that it's the box his ego came in.

American architect Philip Johnson, whose wartime support of the Nazi Party and far-right politics failed to derail a stellar career as a leading Modernist designer and curator, was BOTD in 1906. #philipjohnson #bornonthisday #badgays
I didn't know about Philip Johnson's first glass house - and now someone can own it!

Open Space had a video on #Wolfhouse that was published in January (2025). Worth a watch to see some of the more interesting design elements of the building (and the restoration).

@nytimes.com article on the Wolfhouse in Newburgh, NY—a Philip Johnson-designed midcentury-modern house. (Anyone have $2.9 million?)

Either you'll love it, or hate it — doesn't seem to much in between. Either way, it's for sale. #philipjohnson #architecture #realestate #luxuryrealestate A Philip Johnson House Is on the Market in Newburgh, N.Y. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/14/r...

Front of the Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth, Texas - very 1960s style architecture. Building facade is made of locally quarried shell stone (made from ancient sea shell and ocean critter fossils) it’s a beautiful material
Front sign for Amon Carter Museum of American Art in Houston, Tx. I took this pic because I love the font- I don’t know what it is but looks like a bold helvetica
Back of the Kimball Art Museum in Houston, Texas. Pic shows four barrel vaulted galleries designed by Louis Kahn in the background and there’s a large green lawn in the foreground with four or five (?) Isamu Noguchi stone sculptures placed on the lawn
One of the installations at Fort Worth Water Gardens, a Philip Johnson designed water park in Texas. There are trees in the background against an overcast sky with a red brick wall. A beautiful pool is in the foreground and water is aqua blue with orange reflection at the very front of the pic from the sun (I think )
Breathe, focus on beautiful buildings + art ✨☺️ surprisingly (or maybe not) #fortworth #texas is home to world class art + #modernarchitecture 🌻 #philipjohnson #louiskahn #kimballmuseumofart #amoncartermuseumofamericanart
