Johnson Wax Administration Building and Research Tower: Racine, Wisconsin, 1936, 1944 - Frank Lloyd Wright (Architecture in Detail) - Softcover
Synopsis
Herbert Johnson, grandson of the founder of the SC Johnson Company, turned his corporation's fortunes around during the Depression by developing a highly successful self-polishing floor wax; in 1936 he sought out a suitable architect to design a worker-friendly new office building for the burgeoning business. The result was Frank Lloyd Wright's innovative brick and glass Administration Building and later Research Tower, which both became national landmarks. The American Institute of Architects designated the Johnson Wax Administration Building and Tower as two of 17 buildings by Wright considered to be of eminent architectural importance to American culture. This book provides a thorough examination and account of one of Frank Lloyd Wright's most popular buildings. The comprehensive and expert text, relating the commissions to their historical periods; the needs of the client in conjunction with the employees; and then Wright's body of work as a whole, is combined with specially commissioned colour photography and specially prepared drawings.

Blanda. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: Nuevo. No Aplica (illustrator). 0. Frank Lloyd Wright's innovative streamlined brick and glass Administration Building and Research Tower, built for the company of S. C. Johnson & Son, are landmarks in the history of both American architecture and in building for the working environment. The Administration Building, designed during the Depression, was a beacon of holistic office architecture design. Wright was responsible for conceiving everything from the innovative structural system to the furniture. The phenomenal success of the building led S. C. Johnson to employ Wright again to design the striking Research Tower. This remarkable addition, planned to house the laboratories for industrial research and product development, was the tallest building Wright had built to that date 500 gr. Libro.
