(1910 – 1961) Finnish-born architect, son of Eliel Saarinen. His poetic buildings grace and transform monumental spaces from the soaring TWA terminal at JFK airport in New York City, NY and Dulles airport near Washington, DC (both 1962) to the lofty poetry of the Jefferson National Purchase Arch in St. Louis, MO (1962–4). He also created American embassies abroad and contributed to college campus architecture at Yale and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
