Clearly Beautiful

This afternoon, I stumbled upon a website about The Glass House designed by architect Philip Johnson in 1949 which he used as his personal residence. Today you can tour the house located in New Canaan, Connecticut on 47 acres. If you visit the website, and have time, check out the videos (they're located on the home page - just scroll down a bit.), particularly the one about Frank Stella, one of my favorite twentieth century minimalist painters.

Architecture

I've been on an architecture kick lately. It started with a Maya Lin documentary from Net Flicks. Then one about Frank Gehry. Then I.M. Pei. Now I'm hooked. The first two buildings are designed by I.M. Pei. The larger photo is The National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, CO. The smaller is The Louvre in Paris. The third photo is of The Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain designed by Gehry.
