SAARINEN, EERO AN ARCHITECTURE OF MULTIPLICITY.

England 2002. Saarinen now ranks as one of the great masters of 20th century American architecture. Fusing expressive form, technical innovation and functional requirement, he created a diverse body of work that invariably pleased his clients and the public at large, if not the architectural critics of the day. During his brief career, he designed such beloved landmarks as the TWA Terminal at New York’s Kennedy Airport, the Gateway Arch in St. Louis and Dulles Airport outside Washington, D.C. His designs at the Knoll company, including his Tulip and Womb chairs, remain favorites the world over. With this groundbreaking and lavishly illustrated monograph, historian Antonio Roman sheds new light on Saarinen’s most important works and argues convincingly for his revelance as a pivotal figure in the history of American architecture., English, Year2002, Illust.
