The Century Center, a $13-million project in the late 1970s, has a prominent view of the St. Joseph River on a site where hundreds of industrial and commercial builidings once stood. The building has a 25,000 square foot convention hall, a 12,000 square foot ballroom, and a 16,000 square foot great hall with a 30-foot glass wall overlooking the St. Joseph River. Also included in the building is the South Bend Museum of Art, which occupies three levels in the northern wing. The Century Center's architect, Philip Johnson (1906-2005), was highly influential in the field and coined the term "International School of Architecture." Johnson was especially known for his postmodern designs from the 1980s. One of his most famous designs was his own residence in Connecticut, The Glass House. Johnson collaborated with architect John Burgee from 1967 to 1991, a very productive period, forever altering skylines with iconic high-rise buildings. Burgee, a graduate of the School of Architecture at the University of Notre Dame (1956), is well-known for his contribution to Postmodern architecture.
