Description
Philip Johnson (1906--2005) was one of the proponents of the international style---a simple and unadorned architectural style that expresses classical structure through the use of modern materials. With the Amon Carter Museum, Johnson created a simple, elegant design that combined the warmth and richness of bronze with the creamy, intricately patterned surface of native Texas shellstone. His design was inspired by the Renaissance-style loggia---a covered, open gallery that looks out over an open court. Accordingly, the museum's east facade faces a terraced, grassy plaza surrounded by a walk.
