Philip Johnson
NEW YORK (AP) -- Philip Johnson, whose austere ''glass box'' buildings and latter-day penchant for incorporating whimsical touches in his designs made him one of the most influential architects of the 20th century, has died at 98.
Johnson died Tuesday at his home in New Canaan, Conn. -- itself one of his most important creations.
Johnson's work, which spanned more than half a century starting in the 1940s, ranged from the modernism of his home, a glass cube in the woods, to the more fanciful work of his later years, including the AT&T Building in New York, with its curved pediment that made it look like a giant Chippendale chest of drawers.
