    WAX Headquarters

    Uploaded by

    Sebastián Corral
    Frank Lloyd Wright designed the S.C. Johnson & Son Headquarters in Racine, Wisconsin in 1936. The building features mushroom-shaped columns that allow for ample natural light in the office spaces while carrying significant structural loads. Wright emphasized horizontality, slenderness, and lightness in his design. The concept of the intervention expands on these principles through additional pavilions with abstracted column forms that recreate the language of the original building.

    Concept:

    The concept of the intervention in the S.C John-


    son & Son Headquarters is the lightness. In this
    concept I want to include the horizontality, the

    the slenderness and the light, which are most of
    the concepts that uses the architect. In this
    specific project is really important to emphasize
    the mushroom-shape columns that has this
    building. Due to this shape, it allows to carry a
    lot of weight, but also allow the light to enter the Architects: Kevin roche

    In order to create the same architectonic lenguage,


    the mushroom pilar is abstracted. Creating a new
    shape based in the previous one.

    Circulation

    Circulation = Superior (it could have more connections)

    Structure = Superior, it could have more detail, nevertheless the structure


    from the first floor correspond with the new project. Structure logic design plan

    Pavilion Pavilion / column abstraction

    New adition = Outstanding, The concept is present in the project and the columns were
    abstracted, recreating the idea of the woods.
