Philip Johnson was the first recipient of the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 1979. He designed the Glass House in Connecticut in 1949, made entirely of glass with a brick guest house and circular chimney. The Glass House featured an art gallery in the basement, with only the main gate visible from outside and a square-shaped study. The AT&T Building in New York is a 37-story skyscraper known for its controversial "Chippendale Top" pediment and is now called the Sony Centre. The Crystal Cathedral in California was one of the largest glass structures ever built but is now undergoing renovation.
