...latest proof, announced this month, is a tower laboratory for Johnson's Wax in Racine, Wis. Its 15-story lab is practically all window; all its heating, plumbing and servicing is done through a central mast, from which it is suspended, much like Buckminster Fuller's circular aluminum house (TIME, March 25). It will adjoin the office building Wright designed in 1938, which is held up by columns built like morning-glories. He also built a low-slung modern house for President Herbert F.

Buckminster ("Dymaxion") Fuller (TIME, Oct. 11, 1943). With an eye to production by planemakers, the dreamhouse consists of an aluminum and plastic circular shell supported by a central stainless-steel shaft, instead of a conventional foundation. Newly formed Fuller Houses, Inc. (former name: Dymaxion Dwelling Machines, Inc.) hopes to license upwards of 70 manufacturers to produce 185,000 units a year.
