Philip Johnson Glass House:

The first authoritative book on the history of the Glass House property-Philip Johnson”s fifty-year project of iconic modernist design, encompassing the remarkable buildings, landscape, and follies. The book chronicles how Philip Johnson and David Whitney, the architect and the plantsman, lived on the property for decades and used the landscape as an ever-changing canvas for their designs-the result of a unique synthesis of influences and ideas from across history and geography. New research reveals Johnson”s and Whitney”s interaction with the landscape and the evolution of the site from a five-acre parcel to a world-renowned gentlemanly estate for modern times; the Philip Johnson Glass House-beautifully illustrated with vintage and commissioned photography-will be a must-have for connoisseurs of architecture, landscape design, photography, and social history.
