JOHNSON/BURGEE ARCHITECTS

in Detroit .]]

In 1968, Burgee and the late architect Philip Johnson established Johnson/Burgee Architects in Manhattan.

Their collaborations include:

''"Johnson-Burgee firm moved in 1986 into the elliptical skyscraper at 885 Third Avenue, between 53rd and 54th Streets. Popularly known as the Lipstick Building , it had been designed by the partners together. In 1984 they made their long term associate of 15 years, Raj Ahuja as their third partner. But the partnership arrangement was not to last long beyond the move: Mr. Burgee, eager to occupy center stage, negotiated a more limited role for Mr. Johnson as a design Consultant in 1986 and asked Raj Ahuja to leave the firm in 1988 end and in 1991 exercised the prerogative he had as the firm's chief executive and eased Mr. Johnson out altogether."''http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F10E13FC3C5F0C748EDDA80894DD404482 By PAUL GOLDBERGER

''"It proved an unwise decision: the firm, crippled by an arbitration."''http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F10E13FC3C5F0C748EDDA80894DD404482 By PAUL GOLDBERGER''
