A Conversation with John Burgee: The Architecture of Johnson/Burgee is a documentary exploring the life and work of American architect John Burgee. Burgee, one of the founders of the influential firm Johnson/Burgee Architects, is best known for his contributions to iconic postmodernist buildings such as 550 Madison Avenue (well-known as the AT&T Building) and the Lipstick Building—yet his roots in, and relationship to, classicism played a meaningful role in his development as an architect.
