The past decade has seen the realization of Philip Johnson and John Burgee's most innovative buildings, marking a significant impact on the American skyline through their eighteen-year collaboration. This updated volume on their work is timely and valuable for both the architectural community and the general public. It features twenty-five projects, including high-rise office buildings, urban complexes, colleges, cultural centers, and religious monuments. A distinctive and varied repertoire is showcased, highlighting the Romanesque ensemble of the New Cleveland PlayHouse, the neoclassical AT&T building in New York City, a mansard-roofed skyscraper in San Francisco adorned with classical statues, the Dutch-gabled Republic Bank Center in Houston, Boston's "village of skyscrapers" at International Place, and the iconic Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove, California. The volume also includes buildings currently in production, such as the innovative triple-tiered, oval-shaped office building on Fifty-third Street and Third Avenue in New York, which creatively manipulates zoning laws. Additionally, it features a chronological index summarizing the history of their major built projects, providing context and insight into their architectural legacy.
