Memorable! Great way to understand the design aesthetic of Philip Johnson
The Glass House Visitor Center + Design Store的点评
点评:This extraordinary house and grounds designed by Philip Johnson are a must-see for fans of mid-century architecture. Our guide, Katherine, did a terrific job relating the history of Johnson and his work. We splurged on the two-hour tour, which included The Glass House, Painting Gallery, Sculpture Gallery, outdoor sculpture, and a small structure just inside the gate that showcases temporary installations. We felt it was well worth the $50 ticket price!
Note that there is no parking on the grounds...leave your car in a municipal lot in New Canaan, walk to the Visitor Center, and you will catch the shuttle there.
I wouldn't recommend going on a very hot day, as the guide mentioned some buildings are too uncomfortable to go inside.
翻译:这座由菲利普·约翰逊 (Philip Johnson) 设计的非凡房屋和庭院是中世纪建筑爱好者的必游之地。我们的导游凯瑟琳在讲述约翰逊的历史和他的工作方面做得非常出色。我们在两个小时的游览中花了很多钱,其中包括玻璃屋、绘画画廊、雕塑画廊、户外雕塑,以及大门内展示临时装置的小结构。我们觉得50美元的票价非常值得!
请注意,场地内没有停车场...将您的车停放在新迦南的市政停车场,步行前往游客中心,然后在那里搭乘班车。
我不建议在非常热的一天去,因为导游提到有些建筑物太不舒服,无法进入。
