The most authoritative book to date on the life and work of Eero Saarinen, one of the most influential architects of the 20th centuryFrom the swooping concrete vaults of the TWA Terminal at JFK Airport to the 630foottall Gateway Arch in St. Louis, the iconic designs of Eero Saarinen (19101961) captured the aspirations and values of mid20thcentury America. Potent expressions of national power, these and other Saarinendesigned structuresincluding the GM Technical Center, Dulles International Airport, and John Deere headquartershelped create the international image of the United States in the decades following World War II.Eero Saarinen: Shaping the Future offers a new and wideranging look at the entire scope of Saarinens 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portfolio of Saarinen's projects to datea chronological survey of more than 100 built and unbuilt works, previously unpublished photographs, plans, and working drawings.Lavishly illustrated, this major study shows how Saarinen gave his structures an expressive dimension and helped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.Published in association with the Finnish Cultural Institute in New York, the National Building Museum, Washington, D.C., and the Museum of Finnish ArchitectureExhibition Schedule:Kunsthalle Helsinki, Finland (October 6 December 6, 2006)National Building Museum, Washington, D.C.
