three-legged futuristic telecommunications needle/tower. Only the
foundations have been completed. (totem4.97)

"One can imagine Johnson running for president but never Charles Moore, Bruce Goff, Michael Graves or Robert Venturi ... He has the acceptable public image; they, more serious and creative architects ... are too easily identifiable with one subculture or another." (Jencks C, "Epigrams on Philip Cortelyou Johnson," ad_Aug/Sep79)
