WBAI-FM, New York City's radical, listener-sponsored radio station, has 20,000 subscribers.

It is bathed in natural light, which pours down a central courtyard and through wide light shafts rising the full height of the nine-story building. It is extraordinarily accessible, with a subway station nearby and even has a concourse running through its ground floor. "It is the nexus of a lot of pedestrian routes in the city," says Architect Noel McKinnell, whose firm, Kallmann, Mc-Kinnell & Knowles, won the competition to design the building as the centerpiece of Boston's 60-acre...
