内容简介 The Philip Johnson Glass House was built in 1949 and is considered one of America s iconic modernist structures. Over the course of nearly 50 years, Philip Johnson and David Whitney s 47 acre site in New Canaan, CT, became a canvas for their innovation in the fields of architecture, art and landscape design. In each decade new structures were built, artwork acquired and landscape sculpted to showcase the ideas and thoughts that were central to the conversations brought about by friends, colleagues and guests who were among the most famous leaders in these worlds.
The Glass House, which Johnson bequeathed to The National Trust and opens to the public in the fall of 2007, is set to become a center point and catalyst for the preservation of Modern architecture, landscape and art. In the words of The Trust, ...a canvas for inspiration, experimentation and cultivation honoring the legacy of Philip Johnson and David Whitney. The book will serve as a virtual visit of the house as well as a celebration of one of modern architecture s most famous creations.
