‘THE GLASS HOUSE’ New Canaan, Connecticut By Phillip Johnson
The Glass house was completed in 1949 and was Inspired by Mies van der Rohe's Farnsworth House. The open plan layout, with its perfect proportions and its simplicity, is considered one of the first most brilliant works of modern architecture.
The Glass House is best understood as a pavilion for viewing the surrounding landscape.
