In the Darwin Martin House, of Buffalo New York, in 1902-1905 Frank Lloyd Wright used what he called Lay lights. Which were stained glass fixtures installed on the horizontal planes, that were back lit with Light bulbs, so you cannot claim that algae invented these in 1940….

Thank you for your feedback. Alvar Aalto, as I mentioned, he invented the skylights for open spaces as a libraries and other ceiling natural lights opening. Wright did many other great elements, but in this specific item the compliments should goes to Aalto, in this case. Architecturally talking. But this is my personal and professional opinion. All are welcome to discuss in our community. Thank you for watching.
