Summary:

Philip Johnson has always been at the forefront of stylistic change. His famous "Glass House" in which he still resides and his accompanying windowless guest house are visited in this program. His latest buildings are an attempt to work without straight lines and must be designed as they go up. This new structure is at the core of this program and shows the sculptural building from its initial stages to completion.
