Philip johnson, an American architect and architectural theorist, was called the "godfather" of American architecture by Peter eisenmann. 1906 was born in Cleveland, Ohio, USA on July 8th, and died on October 25th, 2005. He studied philosophy at Harvard University at first, but after reading relevant articles by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, le corbusier and Walter Gropes, he stubbornly changed his major. At the age of 33, he obtained a bachelor's degree in architecture from Harvard University School of Architecture and graduated from 1927. Later work

I traveled around Europe with H·R· Hitchcock, an architectural historian, and met many modernist architects. After returning to China, he served as the director of MOMA Construction Department in new york at 1932. In the same year, he co-authored the book International Style with Hitchcock, and held an exhibition to introduce European modernist architecture to the United States for the first time. At the same time, he co-authored the related works of International Architectural Style with the architectural historian H·R· Hitchcock, in which many great architects participated. From 65438 to 0939, he entered the Graduate School of Architecture of Harvard University, where he studied under M. Brauer, but his real mentor was Mies Van Derro. 1943 obtained a degree in architecture. 1945 established a design firm, 1946- 1954 served as the director of the architectural department of new york Museum of Modern Art. His monograph "Misvandro" was published in 1947, which is quite famous. 1949 designed his own residence and established the reputation of an architect. Johnson worked with Ludwig ludwig mies van der rohe, and Smith had a great influence on him and regarded him as the most outstanding architect. Johnson's early works were deeply influenced by Smith, and even his own home had Smith's shadow to a considerable extent. Although he regarded Miss as a genius, he gradually complained about the traditional style. He said that "my purpose is very clear, different from tradition." From 1967, Johnson and john burgee worked together until 199 1. They can cast simple geometric figures into a novel and incredible model.

Mies influence

Johnson's early works were deeply influenced by Smith, even his own works.

There is also the shadow of Smith to a considerable extent. Although he regarded Miss as a genius, he gradually complained about the traditional style. He said that "my purpose is very clear, different from tradition." From 1967, Johnson and JohnBurgee have been working together until 199 1. They can cast simple geometric figures into a novel and incredible model. Because Johnson is good at building tall buildings, public places and other large buildings, his works cover various fields, and his designs are often abstract and aesthetic. Johnson is always strangely changing the style of one building to another, which is why he is so popular in the business world. Johnson has been paying attention to changing the shape of the building. In his words, it is: "We never have to copy our own things, but we should be completely different from them." Because too much attention is paid to the architectural background (such as environment and location, etc.). ), Johnson's design sometimes seems quite eclectic. Johnson thinks that the most important mistake in architecture is boredom.

Johnson cooperates with his partner Burch.

In the design of cooperation between Johnson and his partner Burch, more and more attention is paid to the works.

By building the identity of the horizon to meet the needs of customers, customers often hope that their buildings will look more chic and eye-catching in this * * * world. Therefore, the buildings he designed are not only in obvious contrast with the surrounding high-rise buildings, but also occupy a considerable dominant position. He believes that the structure and appearance of the building must be equal to the customer's approval. Johnson paid great attention to the combination of natural light and artificial light, and realized the important role of water and light in his position. Therefore, in the design, he added several independent but related fountains. He also created more space by carving knots. He said, "On the one hand, I am quite interested in the arranged architectural space, thinking about it as a way of thinking and putting it into practice to understand and comprehend." Although Johnson has been following in Miss Li's footsteps, he later became the main designer of skyscrapers through his own efforts. From 65438 to 0979, Johnson won the first Pulitzer Prize for Architecture, which was known as the Nobel Prize in architecture.

Early works

Johnson's early works were obviously influenced by the works of Mies van der Rohe.

Influence; In the mid-1950s, it began to shift from Smith style to neoclassicism. The representative works of this period include the Sheldon Art Museum of the University of Nebraska (1960- 1963) and the New York State Theatre of Lincoln Center in new york (1964). In 1970s, he established a firm with J. Berger, and designed a series of buildings, such as the important IDS Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota (1973), the Pansol Building in Houston (1976) and the Crystal Church in Garden Grove, California. These buildings swept away his eclectic style and were quite fresh. This is a period of great success for Johnson. However, in the design of the AT&T Building in Manhattan, new york, which was built in 1983, Johnson deformed the old building components in history and added them to modern buildings, deliberately causing vague metaphors and uncoordinated scales. This building has become a masterpiece of postmodernism. There are no similar works: Pittsburgh Flat Glass Company Building, Yale Microbiology Building, Houston Bank Building, etc.

Large building

Because Johnson is good at building tall buildings, public places and other large buildings, his works cover various fields, and his designs are often abstract and aesthetic. Johnson is always strangely changing the style of one building to another, which is why he is so popular in the business world. Johnson has been paying attention to changing the shape of the building. In his words, it is: "We never have to copy our own things, but we should be completely different from them." Because too much attention is paid to the architectural background (such as environment and location, etc.). ), Johnson's design sometimes seems quite eclectic. Johnson thinks that the most important mistake in architecture is boredom. In the cooperative design between Johnson and his partner Burch, more and more attention is paid to meeting the needs of customers through the identity of building horizon, and customers often hope that their buildings will look more chic and eye-catching in this world. Therefore, the buildings he designed are not only in obvious contrast with the surrounding high-rise buildings, but also occupy a considerable dominant position. He believes that the structure and appearance of the building must be equal to the customer's approval.

Seek change

Known as the "godfather" of architecture, philip johnson has been seeking change and leading the trend all his life. When he turned from the Smith style in the glass house period to neoclassicism, he founded the Boston Public Library. When modernism came, he designed the famous "Crystal Church" in Garden Grove, California. When postmodernism became fashionable, together with architect Burch, he contributed to the AT&T building in new york. This building is a collage of classical style, modern high-rise building style, baroque grand style and modern commercial pop style, and it is the largest and most famous representative of post-modern architecture. In addition, the flat glass company building in Pittsburgh, the microbiology teaching building in Yale and the bank building in Houston designed by him are also classics that cannot be ignored in architectural history.

Orthodox ideas

Philip johnson, whose style makes no sense, never takes orthodoxy seriously. He recognized the work.

"originality" is simply a talk of deceiving the world. He once cracked the source of various design ideas of the "glass house". When people criticized his design, he responded indifferently, claiming: I am a prostitute, and I will wear whatever my master tells me to wear. When someone asks him: Where did your architectural creation start? Johnson replied: Start with the soles of your feet. It is worth mentioning that philip johnson was an anti-Semitic in his early years. He also listened to Hitler's speeches, but he lived in peace with Jews for the rest of his life. 1960, he designed the nuclear reactor memorial hall for Israel. At the end of last century, he also helped two top American Jewish architects to develop their careers. Perhaps philip johnson's consistent nonsense style makes it easier for people who love his achievements to forgive his mistakes.

He believes that the structure and appearance of the building must be equal to the customer's approval. TheUrbanGlassHouse, located in the quiet block of No.330 Spring Street in Manhattan, is the last architectural work of American architect philip johnson. The urban glass residence completed in 2006, with elegant rectangular space, creates bright visual penetration with bold geometric lines. TollBrothers, the largest luxury home builder in the United States, announced that it would reduce the estimated value of housing sales in 2006, which made the entire luxury home market face a pessimistic atmosphere of shrinking. However, at the beginning of announcing the sale of the urban glass house, it sold 30% in two weeks, indicating that people have great enthusiasm for owning philip johnson's last works. It is no coincidence that the first architectural work completed by philip johnson in Connecticut in 1949 is also called the glass house. The scheme entrusted by the original owner of Manhattan was rejected because it could not meet the restrictions of the building zoning law. At this time, philip johnson is preparing to retire. At that time, the owner, Mr. Vendom, suggested why not build another glass house as philip johnson's retirement work. So the original design direction was changed 360 degrees, and this new glass house was born. AnnabelleSelldorf, an architect engaged in interior design of glass houses in Manhattan, added some details to respond to the spirit of the original glass houses. She used jagged white oak floors to correspond to the brick floors of glass houses in Connecticut. In addition, controlling the natural light with the same effect is the key, at least, it must be sufficient indoor lighting. Although the use of large glass is also a principle that must be preserved, considering the convenience of cleaning, the new glass house chose a smaller and more controllable glass panel. Although philip johnson couldn't personally experience the completion of urban glass houses, both the old and new glass houses were left to the world with his architectural spirit.
