Glass House Year built: 1949 Architect: Philip Johnson Location: New Canaan, Connecticut Visiting info: Individual, private and group tours available Must know: Philip Johnson was as much, if not more so, a proponent of architectural styles as a designer of them. He and Henry Russell Hitchcock, in their 1932 International Style of Modern Architecture exhibition at MoMA, helped to define what people think modern architecture is, even to this day. His Glass House, influenced by Mies van der Rohe's Farnsworth House (next) but completed two years before it, is the first of many structures Johnson designed and built on his New Canaan estate. Many of the later buildings embody other styles, but this house is explicitly and unabashedly modern. Read more about the Glass House <p style="text-align:right;color:#A8A8A8"></p>
