    I’m pleasantly surprised that Mies’s usually ignored addition to the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston was included. Also want to point out, though, that the building façade seen in the photograph has not been visible for more than 50 years now, having been hidden behind Mies’s second addition to the museum that was originally known as the “Brown Pavilion,” opened in 1974.

      I'm extremely sorry and worried that information is mislead. This is my internet-based study, not had been to the place physically. Thanks for commenting. Regards.

      @@towfiqhasan157 No reason to feel sorry, you didn’t know and the building is often overlooked. A Google images search for “MFAH Brown Pavilion” or “MFAH Caroline Wiess Law Building” will produce photos of the final Mies addition. Whether or not one thinks it’s an important Mies work, it is unique among his buildings in at least three ways: 1. It is Mies’s only addition to an existing building. Actually an addition to the original museum building and then an addition to his own addition. 2. It is Mies’s only curved, non-rectilinear design and 3. It is Mies’s only museum building in the United States, and one of only two museums in the world.

    Another very nice video, but just a note on something unusual I noticed. 6:52 Strangely, the free hand sketch in the bottom right corner above the description “Beyler Foundation Museum” is actually a sketch of the western façade of Piano’s Menil Collection Museum in Houston. The sketch can be found by searching “concept sketch Menil Collection tumblr” on Google.

    I’m enjoying the production values and style of your videos, but you have a few mistakes and an odd omission in this video. 1:47 The Rothko Chapel, which oddly remains unidentified in the video, was only partly designed by Johnson. Mark Rothko and Johnson clashed over their visions for the project and Johnson left. Rothko continued working with Houston architects Howard Barnstone and Eugene Awbry after Johnson’s departure. 5:13 The photograph in the lower righthand corner is of Louis Kahn’s much-loved Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, not the Amon Carter Museum. 5:36 The University of Houston College of Architecture was founded in 1956, but the building designed by Philip Johnson (a somewhat bastardized copy of an unrealized design by the 18th Century French architectural visionary Claude Nicolas Ledoux) dates from 1986. The most concerning omission to my mind is that of Pennzoil Place in Houston, which, according to its Wikipedia entry, was “considered significant in architectural circles for breaking the modernist glass box design made popular by followers of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and for introducing the era of postmodernism.” Continuing from the Wikipedia article: “Johnson was awarded the 1978 AIA Gold Medal and became the first laureate of the Pritzker Prize in Architecture in 1979 for his work on Pennzoil Place. Pennzoil Place was named "Building of the Decade" in 1975 by The New York Times architecture critic Ada Louise Huxtable because of the dramatic silhouette it added to the Houston skyline.” I should note that there is controversy surrounding who actually created the Pennzoil design, Johnson or Eli Attia, an architect at the Johnson/Burgee firm at the time.
