As we known, Frank Lloyd Wrigh is a very famous architect.

S.C.Johnson’s building is a well know architecture in the 1930s.

For me, I like the details of the building, especially the windows.

Inside the tower, the glass tubes transform daylight into a series of curving horizontal bands that range in color from white to blue. The ghost-like silhouettes of nearby brick buildings can be glimpsed through the translucent glass, adding faint red tones its ethereal mix of light. The spatial drama crescendos at the tower's corners, where openings left by the circular mezzanines create ceiling heights of more than 17 feet.

The circular lily pads of concrete are woven together by a membrane of Pyrex glass tubing that illuminate spaces with natural light. The use of Pyrex glass tubing allowed for a lot of diffused light to enter the interior of the Johnson Wax Building. The large workspace is well lit with indirect light and very little glare, resulting in a work environment conducive for creativity.

But the staff who works in the S. C. Johnson’s building, they said, it is quite hot in the summer, sometime we have to wear the sunglasses.
