AD Classics: TWA Flight Center / Eero Saarinen
This article was originally published on June 16, 2016. To read the stories behind other celebrated architecture projects, visit our AD Classics section. Built in the early days of airline travel, the TWA Terminal is a concrete symbol of the rapid technological transformations which were fueled by the outset of the Second World War. Eero Saarinen sought to capture the sensation of flight in all aspects of the building, from a fluid and open interior, to the wing-like concrete shell of the roof. At TWA?s behest, Saarinen designed more than a functional terminal; he designed a monument to the airline and to aviation itself.
