The Philip Johnson Glass House Guessing Game

Win the book, Glass House, edited by Toshio Nakamura, photographs by Michael Moran (Monacelli, 2007, $95.00).

In 1974, Philip Johnson’s Glass House was 25 years old. The Architectural League of New York celebrated with a birthday picnic on September 22 of that year, with photos documenting not only the house, but the grounds and other Johnson-designed structures.

Not much has changed but the people. All you have to do is identify as many guests as possible from the architectural community in the following photos to win the prize.

The rules:

  1. Identifying Philip Johnson (the host) doesn’t count.
  2. No repeat identifications are allowed: if the same person appears in two photos, only one identification qualifies.
  3. The entrant who can identify the most people wins. In case of a tie, the first entry received wins.
  4. The contest ends on August 15.
  5. No employees of the McGraw-Hill Companies, (including Architectural Record) or Monacelli Press can enter.

Please {encode="[email protected]" title="email "}your responses by including the number of the photo, and where in the photo the person you are identifying is located, starting from the left: e.g: photo 5, 4th person from left is (name).  Responses with a mailing address should be sent to: [email protected]

The winner and the identifications will be published on our Web site in August, when the winner will be sent the book.
