Throughout the 1960s, Johnson continued to create in the vocabulary of the modernist style, designing geometrical theatres, a monastery, art galleries and gardens. The '''[[Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute]]''' (1960) is a good example of his work in the period; it is supported by eight external ferro-concrete piers, or two on each side. The exterior structural members are clad in [[bronze]] and "black" Canadian [[granite]]. The windowless cube is set above the office areas, which recessed in a dry moat, giving a "floating" effect.<ref>Asad Syrkett, http://www.architecturalrecord.com/articles/5335-a-golden-anniversary-for-a-philip-johnson-museum</ref>   A model of the building was exhibited in the United States Pavilion at the [[Expo 58|Brussels' World's Fair of 1958]],as an example of the new trends in American architecture. It was listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]] in 2010.

Another major project of the period was the Atrium of the '''[[David H. Koch Theater]]''' (formerly the New York State Theatre, the home of the [[New York City Ballet]], at [[Lincoln Center]] in New York.

In 1967, Johnson entered a new phase of his career, founding a partnership with architect [[John Burgee]]. He began to design office building complexes for large corporations. The most prominent of these was '''[[Pennzoil Place]]''' (1970–76) in Houston, Texas. The two towers of Pennzoil Place have sloping roofs covering the top seven floors and are trapezoidal in form, planned to create two large triangual areas on the site, which are occupied with glass-covered lobbies designed like greenhouses. This idea was widely copied in skyscrapers in other cities.{{Sfn|Taschen|2016|pages=315-317}}

The new building of the [[Boston Public Library]] (1972), known as the Johnson building, adjoins the original Boston library built in the 19th century by the celebrated firm of [[McKim, Mead & White]]. Johnson harmonised his building with the original landmark by using similar proportions and the same pink Milford granite.

In the late 1970s, Johnson combined architecture and landscape architecture to create two imaginative civic gardens. The  '''[[Fort Worth Water Gardens]]''' opened in 1974, is an urban landscape where visitors experience water in distinct ways. The gardens cover 4.3-acres (1.7 hectare), and comprise three very different kinds of water features; One offers a quiet meditation pool, surrounded with cypress trees and high walls, with a thin sheet of water cascading downward to the pool, making the sound of a rain shower. The second pool is an aerating pool with multiple illuminated spray fountains, beneath a grove of oak trees. The third fountain is the Active Pool, which challenges fit visitors to walk down {{convert|38|ft|m|abbr=off|sp=us}} to the pool at the bottom, with water cascading all around them.<ref>"Fort Worth Water Gardens”, on Site of the City of Fort Worth.</ref>

In 1977, Johnson completed a much quieter garden in Dallas, [[Thanks-Giving Square]]'''.'''  It features a non-denominational chapel in a spiral form, a meditation garden and cascading fountains, tucked between buildings in the center of the city.
