The design of the building is an important example of the Johnson/Burgee partnership. See http://www.greatbuildings.com/architects/Johnson-Burgee.html
Mentioned in Pritzker Architecture Prize on article on Philip Johnson http://www.pritzkerprize.com/pjohn.htm
As an architect, Johnson is most widely respected for his work in the early 1950s while still under the influence of "Mies Van Der Rohe". Some of his famous projects are International Place in Boston; Tycon Towers in Vienna, Virginia; Momentum Place in Dallas; 53rd at Third in New York; NCNB Center in Houston; PPG in Pittsburgh; 101 California in San Francisco; United Bank Center Tower in Denver; to the far flung National Center for Performing Arts in Bombay, India; Century Center in South Bend, Indiana; a Water Garden in Fort Worth, Texas; a Civic Center in Peoria, Illinois; the Crystal Cathedral in California; and a Dade County Cultural Center in Miami.

By the fifties, Johnson was revising his earlier views, culminating with a building that proved to be one of the most controversial of his career – the AT&T headquarters in New York with its so-called "Chippendale" top. His list of projects include: International Place in Boston; Tycon Towers in Vienna, Va.; Momentum Place in Dallas; 53rd at Third in New York; NCNB Center in Houston; PPG in Pittsburgh; 101 California in San Francisco; the Century Center in South Bend, Ind.; and the Crystal Cathedral in California.
