Philip Johnson’s zodiac sign is Cancer. According to astrologers, the sign of Cancer belongs to the element of Water, just like Scorpio and Pisces. Guided by emotion and their heart, they could have a hard time blending into the world around them. Being ruled by the Moon, phases of the lunar cycle deepen their internal mysteries and create fleeting emotional patterns that are beyond their control. As children, they don't have enough coping and defensive mechanisms for the outer world, and have to be approached with care and understanding, for that is what they give in return.
Philip Johnson was born in the Year of the Horse. Those born under the Chinese Zodiac sign of the Horse love to roam free. They’re energetic, self-reliant, money-wise, and they enjoy traveling, love and intimacy. They’re great at seducing, sharp-witted, impatient and sometimes seen as a drifter. Compatible with Dog or Tiger.
One of the most influential Architects of the 20th century; helped create the skylines of major cities across the U.S. Founder of the Museum of Modern Art's Department of Architecture and Design in 1930. He received the 1978 American Institute of Architects Gold Medal and the 1979 Pritzker Architecture Prize, which was the first one awarded.
He enrolled at Harvard University as a student of history and philosophy, then switched to architecture. He traveled to Europe several times during his college years; he considered these trips to be influential in developing his passion for architecture, giving him the opportunity to visit the Chartres, the Parthenon, and other historic landmarks.
He championed the modernist aesthetic of the new wave of Architects at the Museum of Modern Art, and on his own, he designed the AT&T Building on Madison Avenue and the Seagram Building in Midtown Manhattan.
He grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, a descendant of the earliest planners of the town of New Amsterdam, including Jacques Cortelyou and Peter Stuyvesant. He was called "the best-known openly gay Architect in America" and was with his partner, David Whitney, for 45 years.
He was one of the earliest supporters of another great Architect, Le Corbusier.
