Legendary Finnish-American architect Eero Saarinen reflects on designing the General Motors Technical Center in Warren, Michigan—and on the larger purpose of architecture.
For Saarinen, great architecture should do more than provide space and shelter. It should express the character of its time and enhance the human experience.
One of the defining architects of the 20th century, Saarinen went on to design such landmarks as the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, the TWA Flight Center at New York’s JFK Airport, and Washington Dulles International Airport.
