Wright designs windowless Racine office building for wax makers
The normally lit office building in Racine Wisconsin lacks exterior windows by design. Frank Lloyd Wright, the architect, plans tubular glass bands and skylights to admit daylight and artificial light. Two circular air shafts serve as nostrils for air conditioning. The 130 by 210 foot main work room will host offices on a mezzanine and a penthouse for chiefs. Estimated cost exceeds 250000 dollars. Wright says many modern buildings fail to be truly modern.
