Notes:
"Modern Views: A Project to Benefit the Farnsworth House and the Glass House invited some of our era's top creative minds to continue one of the twentieth century's great cultural dialogues: the historic exchange reflected in the Ludwig Mies van der Rohe Farnsworth House (1945-51) and the Philip Johnson Glass House (1949). Modern Views was directed by the National Trust for Historic Preservation's Center for Modernism, at the Philip Johnson Glass House in New Canaan, Connecticut ... In this book, ninety-five artists, architects, and designers reflect on the idea and reality of glass houses, and respond to two of modernism's greatest masterpieces: the Ludwig Mies van der Rohe Farnsworth House and the Philip Johnson Glass House"--Dust jkt.
