The first recipient of the Pritzker Prize and MoMA's founding architectural curator, Philip Johnson made his mark as one of America's leading architects with his famous Glass House in New Caanan, CT, and his controversial AT&T Building in NYC. As a shaper of public opinion and mentor to generations of architects, designers, and artists, he defined the era. But Johnson was also a man of deep paradoxes: a Nazi sympathizer, a designer of synagogues, a populist, and a snob. Lamster lifts the veil on Johnson's controversial and contradictory life, and tells the story of the built environment in modern America. -- adapted from publisher info
