Next, do one about the Phillip Glass Johnson House.

[@ciaobellamiamore]

Very Beautiful home. It is my dream to own one. I have concerns. Insulation and Burglery proof. Are there different types of glass? Are they bulletproof. Thank you for reading

[@ciaobellamiamore]

While I appreciate your 👍👍👍👍👍👍 I notice you dont answer anyone's questions🥺

[@DamianLewd]

Nice chat but no interiors. Shame

[@rexnicholsarchitectsrna2434]

We cannot dismiss the first Glass House designed by Mies Van Der Rohe, where Philip Johnson got his inspiration from. RNA just designed a contemporary version of the Glass House

[@abu_N]

Can I find the glass home AutoCAD dwg for my lesson huh? Rejoice if you help me

[@kiprotichmutaivincent]

can someone help me build a glass house on my land

[@sfbluestar]

4:50 I don't get the claim that "this is the first building to be finished in large sheet plates of glass". Majority of commercial buildings are exactly like this.

[@69elchupacabra69]

You do realize this was built in the 40s, right?

[@MitzvosGolem1]

Went there in 80s for Architectural University project... "Honey there is a peeping Tom!...where? Everywhere!". Don't throw stones or mow lawn there...oy vey!

astonishing, but it seems obvious to me that there is no public interest,..?

[@HunterMann]

I'm curious what you mean by "there is no public interest". Do you man that due to the low viewing of the video on KZbin (4,239 to date) that there's little interest? That's a huge number for very specific area/genre of architecture. Sure, Justin Bieber videos and F*arting Preacher videos get multi-millions of views on KZbin, but we are talking design, architecture, etc. here. Other public interest might be revealed through the Glass House website which likely has the numbers on annual attendance by tourists and architecture students, etc. I'd guess they get at least 10,000 visitors a year. While those may seem like small numbers compared to the Golden Gate Bridge or the Statue of Liberty, I think that's pretty impressive for an architectural site that is somewhat remote and rural geographically.

[@brentisone]

Hunter Mann Argumentations that state intellectual high brow expertised options as the "Justin Biber" paradigma are very clear and highly interesting for me in all relevant and further discussions, This statement alone illustrates at its best the suggestible fact that there is no greater interest in those modernist blissfull architectures, who are simple end-game experiences for unleashed Architects and a lost sign for their inner wishes to combine/contribute to forgotten moral and social matters which they left totally bewildered and isolated behind, so as a minimal structural experience and for human beeing who still strive to create something, .important,, different .. someday, somehow, ..etc. (never heard of "Le Corbusier"?) ...

[@HunterMann]

Brent Yves Thanks, good food for thought. I hope you understand my Beiber example was to point out that the KZbin showcase is pretty dumbed down when you look at who/what gets the most views. I agree that Johnson's art/craft is a niche genre in architecture. The Glass House must be hell to heat, unless they replace each gas panel with dual pane modern glass windows, or install a radiant heat floor and some thick insulating curtains for cold days/nights. But that would undo or stile most of the intended design. I am fairly new to Johnson and his Glass House(I'm embarrassed to admit), but I was assuming that Johnson must have a huge, growing group of aficionados among the MidCentury-Modern crowd(including interior designers, home buyers, builders,and others). I really like Glass House but it seems like, as a live-in space, especially in state state of CT, it would be fair weather only: late Spring thru early Fall). If I built a replica of it on my desert land in Arizona, I'd have to build a shade structure over it for 5 months of the year or it would be a hot greenhouse. I will read your comets again several times, thanks for educating me, a tourist really.

@@HunterMann My glass house has single pane windows. The tree leaves block sun in the summer. summer.
