Philip Johnson was an American architect whose glass and steel structures defined postwar modernism in the United States. Working primarily in the International Style, he pioneered the use of industrial materials and open floor plans in domestic and institutional settings. His Glass House in New Canaan, Connecticut, completed in 1949, established a canonical model for transparent, minimalist living space. Johnson's influence extended across five decades of architectural practice, shaping the aesthetic of corporate headquarters, museums, and public buildings.
