DiTullo Architourism trip

Thanks for posting that! When he talked about his work he often spoke about creating the architectural version of a symphony. It’s a nice analogy and it really comes alive in the Johnson building. It is definitely one of my favorites of his as well. Huge props to the Johnson Wax company for giving free tours 3 days a week of what is a functioning office building for them. It is their legal and finance department, so it is understandable that we were not allowed to take pictures. They also let us sit in all of the original furniture which is pretty crazy… the staff still uses it! This had to be a pretty early example of an open office. It was incredibly peaceful and quiet inside. One of the guys on the tour was a retired Johnson Wax employee with his grand kids. He said in the days of secretaries and typewriters the hum of all of the typing was actually melodic.
