Philip Johnson (1906 — 2005) was an American architect and critic known both for his promotion of the International Style and, later, for his role in defining postmodernist architecture.
He studied at Harvard and co-founded the Department of Architecture and Design at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, where he helped introduce modernist architecture to American audiences.
Known for his bold vision and innovative designs, Johnson reshaped the architectural landscape, blending modernism with his unique flair.
His early work blended modernist principles with his distinctive approach, influencing the architectural world from the onset.
Johnson’s career faced significant controversies, largely centered on his ideological affiliations and perceived opportunism.
Though his legacy is complicated by early associations with fascist ideology in the 1930s, views he later renounced, Johnson remains a central and provocative figure in American architectural history.

If you could not become an architect in degree, you still can be — and are — an architect in purpose.
