TWA Terminal, John F. Kennedy Airport, New York



The TWA terminal was designed by Eero Saarinen as a symbol of flight. The expressive curves of the design create attractive, spacious halls and a rare degree of exhilaration for an airport terminal. Modelling these complex curves will be difficult task but will be worth it for such an amazing building. Although the building appears to be made of sculptural concrete, the structure is in fact braced within the concrete by an invisible web of reinforcing steel.
