The Philip Johnson Glass House is the much-anticipated story of one of the world's best-known modernist architectural gems, its landscape setting, and surrounding follies and sculpture.

This book is the only complete story of the evolution of the landscape and building designs of Philip Johnson's Glass House complex in New Canaan, Connecticut. The partnership between Johnson (1906-2005) and David Whitney (1939-2005) in their over half-century of gardening and landscaping resulted in the sublime setting for Glass House and the site's other structures. Beautifully illustrated with vintage and commissioned photography, it will be a must-have for connoisseurs of architecture, landscape design, photography, and social history.
