1. Modern architecture
and the architect

2. About modern architecture
The dawn of modern architecture came at a time when hand-
labored craftsmanship was being replaced with machine-made
industrialization. Modern architects worked to reinvent ways of
building that focused more on how humans lived versus what they
found beautiful. This architecture is not sentimental, like revivalist
styles. Instead, it is innovative, experimental, and minimal.

3. Modern architecture is a style of building that emphasizes function and a streamlined form over
ornamentation. This design aesthetic is a departure from more elaborate and decorated homes like
a Queen Anne, Victorian, or Gothic Revival styles. Modern architecture usually involves sharp, clean
lines.
There are several styles of modern architecture in the United States alone. From 1930 through
1970, there are categories like Expressionist, Constructivist, and Mid-Century Modern, to name a
few.
History
The modern movement was not short-lived, and it encompasses several sub-styles that span nearly
60 years. In this way, it can be difficult to pinpoint an exact starting point. To some, the style includes
more transitional architecture like the Art Deco and Arts and Crafts movements. To others, those
earlier styles served as inspiration for more "pure," mid-century modern architects.
The birth of modern design came with the thought that form should follow function. This idea started
with architect Louis Sullivan who designed buildings for the 1893 Chicago World Fair. That mantra
became the foundation for modern architects.

4.  The ‘modern look’ means simplicity in form and design. Modern architecture
is based on abstraction, which is created by clean lines, basic shapes, and
forms. Thus, simple, plain, geometric forms, rectangular shapes, and linear
elements make the characteristics of modern architecture.

5. Biography of Philip Johnson

6. Overview of philip Johnson
 In 1930, Johnson joined the architecture department of the Museum of Modern
Art in New York. There he arranged for American visits by Walter Gropius and
Le Corbusier, and negotiated the first American commission for Mies van der
Rohe, when he fled Nazi Germany. In 1932, he organized the first exhibition on
Modern architecture at the Museum of Modern Art.

 In 1978, he was awarded an American Institute of Architects Gold Medal and in
1979 the first Pritzker Architecture Prize.[1]

 His early work as a journalist for the newspaper of the extreme-right and anti-
Semitic Father Charles Coughlin between 1932 and 1940, and his early and
later regretted praise of Nazi Germany, led to condemnation of Johnson in the
2020s

7. Inspiration and Philosophy
 Philip Johnson was Born American architect whose rectilinear forms,
crafted in elegant simplicity, epitomized the International Style and
exemplified his famous principle that “less is more.” He went further
than anyone else regarding structural honesty, making the actual
supports of his buildings ..
 Philip Johnson, though having left a great legacy of architectural
thought and design, was a true proponent of a capitalist architecture,
bereft of a socialist direction

9.  Glass House, 1949
 The Glass House is best understood as a pavilion for viewing the surrounding landscape. Invisible from
the road, the house sits on a promontory overlooking a pond with views towards the woods beyond.
The house is 55 feet long and 33 feet wide, with 1,815 square feet. Each of the four exterior walls is
punctuated by a centrally located glass door that opens onto the landscape. The house, which ushered
the International Style into residential American architecture, is iconic because of its innovative use of
materials and its seamless integration into the landscape. Philip Johnson, who lived in the Glass House
from 1949 until his death in 2005, conceived of it as half a composition, completed by the Brick House.
Both buildings were designed in 1945-48.

11.  PPG PLACE
 The project was started by PPG Industries (formerly Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company) to serve as the
company’s headquarters, after being based in Downtown Pittsburgh since 1895.[6] The company
contracted the project to architect Philip Johnson and his partner John Burgee. Designed in the
neogothic style but with modern innovations, the complex had many inspirations, including London’s
Victoria Tower,[7] and H.H. Richardson’s Allegheny County Courthouse and Charles Klauder’s
Cathedral of Learning in Pittsburgh.[8] Before the building was constructed, an 8-foot-tall, 600 pound
model was pieced together in Tarentum, Pennsylvania by Renato “Reno” Chieruzzi in the basement of
his home. Glass for the model was cut at the Ford City PPG works
