The Philip Johnson Glass House has been described as "the longest running salon in America," as great minds in architecture, art and design gathered in New Canaan, CT at the invitation of Philip Johnson and David Whitney. These conversations are legendary as we recognize their enormous influence on our culture in the second half of the 20th century. Glass House Conversations continue this important legacy through a series of invitational dialogues bringing together thought leaders from across society for conversations that explore important issues and new ideas.
At the conclusion of each Conversation, we will share reflections and biographies from our participants and photos taken of the day. This spring, we will begin to launch and share in-depth interviews and essays from each Conversation, please stay tuned!
