John MacLane Johansen was born in Manhattan in 1916. After graduating from Harvard Graduate School of Design with a Masters in Architecture in 1942, he worked as a draftsman for Marcel Breuer. In 1948 he established his own practice first in New Canaan, Connecticut and later in New York City. Well-known works are the Mummer’s Theater in Oklahoma City, the US Embassy in Dublin, Ireland and the Goddard Library in Worchester, Massachusetts, which demonstrate his use of building technology as determinant of an architectural aesthetic. Honors include the NY AIA Gold Medal and membership in the American Academy of Arts and Letters. He recently retired from 50 years of educating young architects at Pratt Institute. He is currently engaged in experimental projects. He is also author of John Johansen: A Life in the Continuum of Architecture
