The most authoritative book to date on the life and work of Eero
Saarinen, one of the most influential architects of the 20th
century From the swooping concrete vaults of the TWA Terminal at
JFK Airport to the 630-foot-tall Gateway Arch in St. Louis, the
iconic designs of Eero Saarinen (1910-1961) captured the
aspirations and values of mid-20th-century America. Potent
expressions of national power, these and other Saarinen-designed
structures-including the GM Technical Center, Dulles International
Airport, and John Deere headquarters-helped create the
international image of the United States in the decades following
World War II. Eero Saarinen: Shaping the Future offers a new and
wide-ranging look at the entire scope of Saarinen's career. This is
the first book on Saarinen to incorporate significant research and
materials from the newly available archives of his office, and
includes the most complete portfolio of Saarinen's projects to
date-a chronological survey of more than 100 built and unbuilt
works, previously unpublished photographs, plans, and working
drawings. Lavishly illustrated, this major study shows how Saarinen
gave his structures an expressive dimension and helped introduce
modern architecture to the mainstream of American practice. In his
search for a richer and more varied modern architecture, Saarinen
became one of the most prolific and controversial practitioners of
his time.
