Philip Johnson, one of our most creative and significant architects, was always on the forefront of stylistic change.

Amongst the first songs on the compilation come from the band's first live performance at The Roxy in London in April 1977. Following these are officially previously unreleased studio tracks, and previously unreleased versions of songs that were released in finished versions. Tim Chacksfield – project co-ordination.

Philip Johnson & John Burgee. A dark reflective curtain wall with charcoal mullions comprises the infill between the structural elements. Philip Johnson and John Burgee’s decision to break the mold of vertical linearity resulted in a construction unlike any other. Their structural expressionistic qualities lend credibility and honesty of form and function that many towers simply ignore. These two iconic skyscrapers continue to boldly defy the laws of gravity, and have undoubtedly served as inspiration for the numerous canted towers in the following decade.

As a part of the cassette culture in the UK, he produced ethereal soundscapes, damaged electronics and undanceable drum patterns, along with homemade j-cards. Youth in Mourning is a personal record, yet fearless. It pulls back the bedroom curtain, revealing (as Johnson writes in the liner notes) the sound of a warm-air heater on a cold afternoon and a cassette being pushed into the deck and switched on. This first-time reissue comes from the original master tapes. Recommended for fans of Cabaret Voltaire, John Bender and The Shadow Ring.

Philip Johnson's Glass House, in New Canaan, Connecticut. The property is also home to several additional buildings by Johnson. Philip Johnson’s Glass House, built atop a dramatic hill on a rolling 47-acre estate in New Canaan, Connecticut, is a piece of architecture famous the world over not for what it includes, but for what it leaves out. The dwelling’s transparency and ruthless economy are meant to challenge nearly every conventional definition of domesticity. I remember being particularly struck by how its transparency allows the landscape to flow right through the house. Johnson’s design is the architectural equivalent of a brilliantly packed suitcase, with a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and space for dining and entertaining all arranged inside a simple rectangle measuring 32 by 56 feet.

Johnson spoke with great eloquence about the primacy of procession in architecture, of the critical importance of experiencing a building through time and space. His own work, however, is generally defined by courts and atriums and open rooms − points of stasis. He imagined these as spaces of social interaction, and at their best, when animated by a human presence, they can achieve a great energy. Emptied of that presence, they can be just the opposite − barren, inert, inhuman.
