Saarinen
U.S. (Finnish-born) architect. His father, Eliel Saarinen (1873-1950), was the foremost Finnish architect of his time; his major works include the Helsinki railway station (1904-14) and--after emigrating to the U.S. in 1923--the buildings of the Cranbrook Foundation, Bloomfield Hills, Mich. (1925-41). Eero joined his father's practice after studying at Yale. His vast General Motors Technical Center in Warren, Mich. (1948-56), was followed in 1948 by his design for St. Louis's Gateway Arch (completed 1965). In the Kresge Auditorium and chapel at MIT (1955), he used a "handkerchief" dome resting on three points for the auditorium and a stark red-brick cylinder for the chapel. His TWA terminal at Kennedy International Airport (1956-62) employs two cantilevered concrete shells that extend dramatically outward, suggesting wings.
