Archinect reports, in a press release from the architect's office, that Philip Johnson, at 98 years of age, is retiring from his practice Philip Johnson/Alan Ritchie Architects.
Johnson has been in practice about sixty years, roughly since the International Style exhibition he co-curated in 1932. Johnson has been a proponent of architecture styles, from Modernism and Post-modernism to Deconstructivist, the last via another MOMA exhibition in the late 1980's. Famously calling himself a whore, Johnson has always been able to shake things up, something he may likely do even after stepping down from practice.
