Philip Johnson (8 Juli 1906 - 25 Januari 2005) lahir di Cleveland, Ohio. Pada awalnya, Philip Johnson bukanlah seorang arsitek, dia bekerja sebagai kritikus, penulis, sejarawan dan seorang direktur museum. Dia meraih gelar A.B. dalam sejarah arsitektur dari Universitas Harvard yang tertarik pada Sejarah dan Filsafat, terutama pada karya Pra-Sokrates.
Pada tahun 1928, Philip Johnson bertemu dengan
arsitek Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, yang pada saat itu sedang merancang German Pavilion untuk Barcelona Internasional Exposition 1929. Pertemuan dengan Ludwig Mies van der Rohe inilah yang akhirnya membuat jalan Philip Johnson dalam dunia arsitektur. Pada awalnya bahkan Philip Johnson pernah menugaskan Ludwig Mies van der Rohe untuk mendesain apartemennya di New York. Kemudian dia berkolaborasi dengan Mies mendesain bangunan tinggi terbaik yakni Gedung Seagram, New York.
