Summary

Eero Saarinen was a visionary in the fields of furniture design and architecture. Among his greatest accomplishments are monuments that shaped architecture and became icons in themselves: Washington DC's Dulles International Airport, the TWA terminal at JFK Airport in New York, and the 630-foot high "Gateway to the West," the Arch of St Louis.
