Philip Johnson: struggling young architect

Article Abstract:

Philip Johnson at age 92 still goes to the office, designs buildings, seeks clients, and observes succeeding generations of architects. He lives in the Glass House in New Canaan, CT, a museum of his work, a house that grows to exhibit his new works and thus becomes a record of his achievements. After an illness, he decided to have fun designing small buildings.
