drafting room
The drafting room of Frank Lloyd Wright's 1898 studio complex in Oak Park, a 23-foot-tall, light-filled space in the shape of an octagon. Many important figures in Prairie School architecture, such as Walter Burley Griffin, worked here. A unique structural system of chains and pulleys in tension holds up a second-floor balcony ring, as well as holding the exterior walls up.
