Description: Philip Johnson, who died in 2005, was a towering figure in American architecture, both sensing and establishing new directions and stylistic trends. This monograph, with 180 captioned color illustrations, covers the last decade of his professional life, as he and partner Alan Ritchie collaborated on projects of striking creativity and originality through the 1990s. Architectural critic and New Yorker staff writer Paul Goldberger explores two important themes of the firm’s oeuvre in his introduction: an affinity for larger projects, and an interest in sculptural form, including new ways of using classical architectural forms.
