 البداية

نشأ وولد فيليب جونسون في كليفلاند اوهايو عام 1906 وقبل ان يبني اول مشروع له في عمر 36 كان جونسون كاتب و مؤلف و مدير متاحف و مؤرخ لكنه لم يكن مهندسا قط.

في عام 1949 بعد عمله عدة سنين كأول مدير لقسم الهندسة في متحف الفنون الحديثة- صمم جونسون سكنه الخاص في نيو كانن "كنعان الجديدة" وكان منزله بمثابة اكمال لحصوله على درجة الماجيستر في بحثه عن بيوت الزجاج الشهيرة.

اطلق جونسون لقب مدرسة الهندسة العالمية على معرض ام او ام اي (موما) ، ومنذ عام 1989 وفر جونسون شبه المتقاعد وادخر وقته وجهده لمشاريعه الخاصة وكانت اخر تصاميمه لمدرسة الفنون الجميلة لكلية سيتون هيل في جرين برج بنسلفانيا.
