Eero Saarinen was a Finnish American architect known for his organic and flowing designs. Some of his most notable works include the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, the TWA Flight Center at JFK Airport, and the MIT Chapel. The Gateway Arch is the world's tallest arch at 630 feet tall. The TWA Flight Center featured a prominent wing-shaped roof and large windows to view planes, and its futuristic Googie-style design received critical acclaim. The windowless brick MIT Chapel has undulating interior walls that create an intimate space filled with natural light.

4. Gateway Arch
 Construction started: February 12,
1963; 58 years ago

 Height: 630 ft (192 m)
 The Gateway Arch is a 190-metre (623 ft) monument in St.
Louis, Missouri, United States. Clad in stainless steel and built
in the form of a weighted catenary arch,[5] it is the world's
tallest arch[4] and Missouri's tallest accessible building.
 officially dedicated to "the American people", the Arch,
commonly referred to as "The Gateway to the West" .

5.  Both the width and height of the arch are 630 feet (192 m)
 The cross-sections of the arch's legs are equilateral triangles,
narrowing from 54 feet (16 m) per side at the bases to 17 feet (5.2
m) per side at the top.
 Each wall consists of a stainless steel skin covering a sandwich of two
carbon-steel walls with reinforced concrete in the middle from ground
level to 300 feet (91 m), with carbon steel to the peak.
 The arch is resistant to earthquakes[77] and is designed to sway up
to 18 inches (46 cm) in either direction,[78] while withstanding
winds up to 150 miles per hour (240 km/h).

7.  The MIT Chapel (dedicated 1955, completed in 1956[1]) is a non-
denominational chapel , It is located on the campus of the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Massachusetts
 From the outside, the chapel is a simple, windowless brick cylinder set inside
a very shallow concrete moat. It is 50 feet (15 m) in diameter and 30 feet
(9.1 m) high, and topped by an aluminum spire.
 The brick is supported by a series of low arches. Saarinen
chose bricks that were rough and imperfect to create a
textured effect.
 The wall and trees provide a uniform background for the
chapel, and isolate the site from the noise and bustle of
adjacent buildings.
MIT Chapel

8.  Within is an intimate space, stunning in its immediate visual impact.
Windowless interior walls are undulating brick. Like a cascade of light
 The interior is inundated with a high level of detail and atmospheric qualities
that are enhanced by filtered natural light.
 Due to the windowless façade, the
interior of the chapel is completely
masked by the exterior of the volume.
Unlike the smooth uninterrupted
façade, the interior brick walls
undulate around the circumference of
the chapel, which creates a new
spatial dynamic that is illuminated by
the moat that slips into the interior
from outside.

 The TWA Flight Center, also known as
the Trans World Flight Center, is an
airport terminal and hotel complex at
New York City's John F. Kennedy

11.  The TWA Flight Center was designed for Trans World Airlines by Eero Saarinen
and Associates, and was erected between 1959 and 1962.
 operated as a terminal from 1962 to 2001 and was adaptively
repurposed in 2017 as part of the TWA Hotel.
 It featured a prominent wing-shaped thin shell roof supported by four "Y"-
shaped piers.
 Inside was an open three-level space with tall windows enabling views of
departing and arriving jets. Two tube-shaped red-carpeted departure-arrival
corridors extended outward from the terminal, connecting to the gates.
 Its design received much critical acclaim; both the interior and the exterior of
the head house were declared New York City Landmarks in 1994

12.  A building in which the architecture itself would express the drama, the
special character and excitement of travel… a place of movement and
transition… The shapes were deliberately chosen to emphasize a
progressive increase the quality of the line.
 The TWA terminal is carved like a symbol of flight is involved, abstract,
an allegory on the fly made of reinforced concrete
 It has often been described as the figure of
“an eagle to take land.” Its curvaceous
flight evoke a fluid.
CONCEPT

13. Design
 The terminal had a futuristic, inside there
were large windows from which aircraft could
be seen parked in the TWA or departing
passengers passing through the red carpets of
the fingers.
 The doors of the terminal were close to the
street, making it difficult to create
centralized entrances and security checks.
 It was the first airline terminal to have a
closed-circuit television, a central p / a,
tapes for luggage, an electronic display of
flight, besides being the forerunners in the
use of scales to weigh luggage.

14. Spaces
 Inside spaces coexist and organic forms, defining, despite being
diametrically opposed, the broad spectrum of architectural expression of
Eero Saarinen. This is a large deck that houses a single hall with shapes
and objects available to travelers who appear as sculptural works.
Ground floor
On this floor is the great and only lobby of the building housing the exchange
from the passengers, all counters and traffic management thereof. Also,
isolated from the circulation, enabled an area from which to watch the
movements of aircraft.
Top Level
This second level, in the attic on the first, emphasizes the idea of ​​unique hall
downstairs. Stood in a café, a restaurant, a bar and several private rooms for
meetings. A staircase leads travelers to the boarding area which is flanked by
two galleries.

15. Plan

19. Structure
 Saarinen was inspired by the Gothic vaults to house an area without
columns that allows for various services. Although the structure appears to
be a sculptural piece of concrete is reinforced inside by an invisible network
of steel, a kind of “invisible steel hammock” that supports the roof.
 This is a Y-shaped column that becomes so plastic and other beams leisurely
hold responsible for the four sections of the roof, while allowing, through its
separation, the zenith passage of natural light and lighten the visual weight of
the structure.
 The continuous flow from one area to the other creates a space without limits, an
architecture of fluidity. Columns, arches and sills are combined to form a single
element.

Associates in Detroit, becoming the most famous building of the
airport, and a National Historic Landmark. Its facilities filmed by Steven
Spielberg’s “Catch Me If You Can”
 Saarinen died in 1961, a year before the building was finished.
