FROM:The Philip Johnson Glass House / Interview with Director and Chief Curator Henry Urbach
“The idea in general has been, while preserving the site, and maintaining its beauty and integrity, also to use it, and to let it breath in these different ways. I don’t know if it would be a a kind of recipe for historic house museums, but here at The Glass House, because of the way Philip and David understood this place, as really a place of creative activity of so many different kinds: experimenting with buildings, constantly changing the landscape, bringing in new art, displaying it, having conversations about art, bringing influential people together in a kind of salon environment. In so many ways they were interested in the kind of creative energy that could be produced at the site, and that is the legacy that we are working to sustain.”
“一般來說，這個想法在保留場地，保持其美觀和完整性的同時，也使用它，並以這些不同的方式讓它呼吸。 我不知道它是否會成為歷史悠久的博物館的一種食譜，但是在玻璃屋，因為菲利普和大衛理解這個地方的方式，真的是這麼多不同種類的創意活動的地方：試驗 與建築，不斷改變景觀，引入新藝術，展示它，進行藝術對話，在一個沙龍環境中將有影響力的人聚集在一起。 在很多方面，他們對可以在網站上產生的那種創造性能量感興趣，這是我們努力維持的遺產。“
