PHILIP JOHNSON - Sony Building -(originally AT&T Building) in New York City,
1984.
Johnson is best known for his Post-Modern structures, like AT&T (now Sony) building. This granite clad skyscraper sounded the death knell for minimalist glass boxes. With its Classical loggia at the base and Chippendale top, it certified the marketibility of Post-Modernism. It borrows elements and references from the past and reintroduces symbolism to architecture.
