Sculptural structures

â€œEach age must create its own architecture out of its own technology and one which is expressive of its own Zeitgeistâ€”the spirit of the timeâ€.
- Eero Saarinen

Eero Saarinen (1910-1961) was one of the 20th centuryâ€™s great visionaries, both in the fields of furniture design (he created the ubiquitous Knoll â€œTulipâ€ chairs and tables, for example) and in architecture. Among his greatest accomplishments are monuments that shaped architecture in postwar America and became icons in themselves: Washington D.C.â€™s Dulles International Airport, the very sculptural and fluid TWA terminal at JFK Airport in New York, and the 630-foot high â€œGateway to the West,â€ the Arch of St. Louis. Marrying curves and dynamic forms with a Modernist aesthetic, he brought a whole new dimension to architecture.
