Remembering Philip Johnson

Over at Music and Cats, Kimberly has posted a wonderful appreciation of the recently departed master architect Philip Johnson.

(Since Kimberly grew up in Houston, where Mr. Johnson did some of his best, most dramatic work, and is, if memory serves, an architect herself, I imagine that Mr. Johnson's work must have resonated especially strongly with her.)

Here in New York City, Johnson designed the AT&T Headquarters (now the Sony Building) as well co-designing the Seagram Building with Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, among other notable buildings.
