Philip Johnson : Life and Work

Rating:
Summary: Philip Johnson : Life and Work - a good bio about a genius
Review: A great book about my favorite architect. Johnson's buildings are truly an example of his passion and distinct style. Franz Schulze went to great lengths to describe his career from working w/ Mies ,his partnership w/ John Burgee to practicing alone at 90+ years old. The book discusses his up & down life that impacted his work.

Summary: A fascinating tale of a great passionate man
Review: The most compelling attribute of Schulze's recount of the life thus far of Philip Johnson is the story of how a young Johnson followed his passions and became a self-eduated person of enlightenment - or at least learned at 20-something that enlightenment is a pursuit, not a destination. Whether you like architecture or not, this book will inspire introspection of your own pursuit for passionate endeavors.
