Philip Johnson's drawings and photographs (thoughts on paper)


In other architecture news this week, a large collection of design sketches, drawings and renderings from Philip Johnson's architectural practice are headed to market. Philip Johnson's Glass House (built in 1949), is considered to be one of the world's most beautiful examples of modern architecture, and is owned by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
