Philip Johnson, who lived for nearly a century, played a significant part in the changing look of that century-from the glass towers that came to dominate so many American cities, to a return to more classical forms, to buildings using a mix of styles in playful ways. This NewsHour program brings together a 1983 interview with Johnson (then a youthful 77) and a retrospective on the master architect's life filmed two days after the 98-year-old's death in 2005. Episodes include... ?? Profile-Philip Johnson: Charlayne Hunter-Gault engages architect Philip Johnson in a self-critique of his achievements. ?? Towering Force: Remembering Philip Johnson: Jeffrey Brown talks with Paul Goldberger, architecture critic for The New Yorker, about the legacy, life, and work of the late architect Philip Johnson.
