John Manley has worked with Philip Johnson since 1955. During this time he has been involved in some one hundred and fifty projects covering the full range of Mr. Johnson's work and has contributed significantly to complex institutional projects and large commercial buildings.

As senior designer, working with Mr. Johnson, his broad range of projects include such important works as both the New York State Theater and Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center; the Boston Public Library Addition; the Terrace Theater at Kennedy Center; the Peoria Theater and Civic Center; the Dade County Cultural Center; Thanksgiving Square and Chapel in Dallas; and the National Center for the Performing Arts in Bombay, India. These projects dealt with urban design and complex programmatic issues. Mr. Manley was instrumental in seeing the designs through working drawings and construction.

His extensive museum experience includes Dumbarton Oaks in Washington, D.C.; the Kunst Haus in Bielefeld, Germany; The Art Museum of South Texas; and the Neuberger Museum at the State University of New York at Purchase. He also worked extensively on the Museum of Television and Radio in New York as well as on several phases of the Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth, and New York's Museum of Modern Art. These projects all involved complicated security, environmental, and aesthetic issues.

He was also senior design architect for more than 10,000,000 square feet of office space, including IDS Center in Minneapolis and Pennzoil Place, Post Oak II and III, and Transco Tower in Houston.

Recently, he served as senior designer for the new facade of One Central Park West and for the mandated exteriors of four of the high-rise residential towers at Riverside South in Manhattan. He is currently in charge of the design for the 2300 seat Cathedral of Hope in Dallas and is handling the latest expansion of the Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth. Among other projects completed recently are the Visitor's Center ("da Monsta") in New Canaan, the Chrysler Center Redevelopment, the Domus Design Collection Showroom in New York, and St. Basil Chapel at the University of St. Thomas in Houston.
