Philip Johnson (1906-2005) was a prominent American architect. His best-known works are the Seagram Building (in collaboration with Mies van der Rohe), his own "Glass House," the AT&T Building (now the Sony building) in Manhattan, and the Crystal Cathedral near Los Angeles.
His style was creative, and he has about a dozen particularly famous works which include the so-called "Lipstick Building" in midtown Manhattan which has is a 34-story elliptical tower having a red granite-with-steel exterior (1986). It is a welcome relief to the tedious skyscrapers having sharp edges around it.
