Imagine a place where thinkers gather to talk with each other. Imagine their ideas making wrestling moves. Imagine those ideas initiating ikedo shifts. Imagine them executing kung-fu leaps and thrusts. Imagine the new idea-combinations that emerge. Imagine their effects on the human environment when these ideas finally get to be fabricated into forms.
In the Glass House, a thinking place given form by Philip Johnson, thinkers have another opportunity to meet and share. How wonderful!
Here is the Glass House where this and that gets knock around. Have a look.

In this video RISD president John Maeda narrates a visit to Philip Johnson's Glass House in New Canaan, CT.
Maeda shares his impressions and talks about how it relates to his thoughts on simplicity.
Meanwhile, we explore the site (there are actually several buildings on the property in addition to the Glass House),
