	Philip Johnson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Johnson was among the first to experiment with all-glass facades, and by the 1980s such buildings had become commonplace the world over.
		Johnson walked away from the success of his MOMA exhibition and, in a move described by the contemporary newspapers as 'surreal', attempted to join forces with Louisiana governor Huey Long.
		Johnson's most famous work is the Glass House in New Canaan, Connecticut, a transparent open-plan frame structure which was his own residence.

	Critiques of Phillip Johnson
		Johnson begins with creationism, which he says "means simply a belief in creation." He chides Darwinists for using the term to refer to young-earth creationists, which he takes to be an illegitimate way of setting up a false dilemma.
		Johnson goes on to say that in the broadest sense, a creationist is someone who believes that there is a creator who has created the world and its inhabitants with a purpose.
		Johnson maintains that theism is a source of truth which competes with science and gives a framework from which one can reject evolution because of its weaknesses (which he claims the scientific naturalist can't do unless another paradigm comes along).

		Johnson described him as “a strong man. There were some on the board who didn’t like the design, but deButts could outvote the entire board.” He wanted a “monument for the biggest company in the world,” a structure on the level of the Seagram Building, but not a glass box.
