The IDS Center is the second of three projects in the exhibition by architect Philip Johnson (1978 Gold Medalist). The center comprises four buildings, one of which is the tallest building in Minneapolis. The Center’s piazza, known as Crystal Court, is covered by a pyramidal structure of glass and plastic and is one of the city’s marquee public spaces.

Come on. Philip Johnson is finally dead. We can finally stop kissing his rear and start pretending he never existed.

Yeah, for starting out his career as a sycophant (to the great European blight), he sure got a lot of sycophancy in return.
