The first set, produced for a 1951 Architectural Forum magazine cover story, features curtains carefully arranged according to the architect’s preferences; the Museum of Modern Art commis- sioned the second set in 1985 for a major Mies retrospective exhibition specifically because the show’s influential curator, Arthur Drexler, believed the curtains obscured Mies’ so-called “glass box” design.

Kroessler John Jay College of Criminal Justice, CUNY Published in Journal of Planning History: 1-22 (2016) 2 The Limits of Liberal Planning The Lindsay Administration’s Failed Plan to Control Development on Staten Island Abstract: Staten Island grew rapidly after the Verrazano Narrows Bridge opened in 1964. Mayor John Lindsay introduced a plan to control and guide development there, and encouraged planned unit development. The Rouse Company, then building Columbia, Maryland, was contracted to plan new communities for the southern third of Staten Island to more than double the borough’s population. State Senator John Marchi introduced legislation for the South Richmond Development Corporation in 1971. The plan called for the city to use eminent domain to buy property and transfer it to the Rouse Company, which would also construct residential towers on landfill in Raritan Bay. Behind the banner of private property rights, the Conservative Party led opposition to the proposal, and their influence over elected officials on Staten Island led to the legislation’s defeat in Albany.

  • Salvation in a Grain of Sand O
    SALVATIO N IN A GRAIN OF SAND RECKONING WITH THE OCEAN’S FURY CAME EARLY TO A FAMOUS HOUSE ON LONG ISLAND. BY MAC GRISWOLD N THE EAST END OF LONG ISLAND, O in the Hamptons, fabled or distinguished houses, including some by Norman Jaffe, the architect famed for using the area’s vernacu- lar language of potato barn and saltbox to create modernist masterpieces, are bulldozed at an ever increasing rate or disfigured by hair-raisingly inappropriate additions. Stephen and Sandy Perl- binder’s 1969 Jaffe house in Sagaponack is still standing after almost half a century but has been raised like a phoenix from disaster after disaster. In 1970, Architectural Record named it a “Record House,” igniting Jaffe’s career. Seen from the nearest road, now as then, its boxy profile stands distantly against a blank horizon. Beyond lies the Atlantic. The intervening 27 acres of cornfield, pond, meadow, and dunes are the inspired work of the landscape architect Christopher LaGuardia, ASLA, who has worked on this landscape since 1998, when two fierce winter nor’easters chewed out the then-legal beach bulkhead and the dune that the house originally stood on in less than 24 hours. In 2013, ASLA recognized LaGuardia’s work with the coveted Award of Excellence for residential design. SHANK ERIKA 96 / LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE MAGAZINE SEP 2014 ERIKA SHANK ERIKA LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE MAGAZINE SEP 2014 / 97 Implicit in the award, and driving the appropri- the house to safety—the only possible move, given the circum- ateness of LaGuardia’s work in its Long Island stances, if the house wasn’t going to be torn down.

  • Gerard & Kelly
    Online Circulation: 9,900 FRIEZE / GERARD & KELLY / JULY 16, 2016 Gerard & Kelly By Evan Moffitt | July 16, 2016 The Glass House, New Canaan, Connecticut, USA The modernist philosophy of Le Corbusier, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and their contemporaries was demo- cratic and utopian – at least until it was realized in concrete, glass and steel. Despite its intention to pro- duce affordable designs for better living, modernism became the principle style for major corporations and government offices, for the architecture of capital and war. Are its original ideals still a worthy goal? I found myself asking that question at the Philip Johnson Glass House in New Canaan, Connecticut, while watch- ing Modern Living (2016), the latest work by performance artist duo Brennan Gerard and Ryan Kelly. As I followed the sloping path to Johnson’s jewel box, pairs of dancers dressed in colourful, loose-fitting garments, mimicking each other’s balletic movements, appeared in emerald folds of lawn. With no accompaniment but the chirping of birds and the crunch of gravel underfoot, I could’ve been watching tai chi at a West Coast meditation re- treat. The influence of postmodern California choreographers, such as the artists’ mentor Simone Forti, was clear. Gerard & Kelly, Modern Living, 2016, documentation of performance, The Glass House, New Canaan; pictured: Nathan Makolandra and Stephanie Amurao. Cour- tesy: Max Lakner/BFA.com When the Glass House was first completed in 1949, Johnson was criticised for producing a voyeuristic do- mestic space in an intensely private era governed by strict sexual mores. Like a fishbowl, the house gave its in- habitants nowhere to hide.

  • Disgrace and Disavowal at the Philip Johnson Glass House
    Adele Tutter 449 ADELE TUTTER, M.D., PH.D. The Path of Phocion: Disgrace and Disavowal at the Philip Johnson Glass House Philip Johnson graced his iconic Glass House with a single seicento painting, Landscape with the Burial of Phocion by Nicolas Pous- sin, an intrinsic signifier of the building that frames it. Analyzed within its physical, cultural, and political context, Burial of Phocion condenses displaced, interlacing representations of disavowed aspects of Johnson’s identity, including forbidden strivings for greatness and power, the haunting legacy of the lesser artist, and the humiliation of exile. It is argued that Phocion’s path from disgrace to posthumous dignity is a narrative lens through which Johnson attempted to reframe and disavow his political past. Every time I come away from Poussin I know better who I am. —attributed to PAUL CÉZANNE Is all that we see or seem But a dream within a dream? —EDGAR ALLAN POE, A DREAM WITHIN A DREAM, 18271 An Invitation to Look Although he would during his life amass a formidable collection of contemporary art, the architect Philip Cortelyou Johnson (1906–2005) chose to grace his country residence, the Glass House, with but a single seicento Old Master painting, Nicolas Poussin’s Landscape with the Burial of Phocion,2 which was This study was undertaken with the gracious cooperation of the Philip Johnson Glass House of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
