Inspiration: Eero Saarinen and Anthropomorphism


TWA Terminal, Kennedy International Airport, NYC.

This image provokes thoughts of a bird spreading it's wings, captured stunningly in the undulation of the concrete roof.


Just as the wings of Eero Saarinen's building encapsulate the circulation space beneath, so too do the branches of a bonsai tree, the main inspiration of my preliminary design.
