Capitalist and Populist Architecture--Eero Saarinen

Eero Saarinen's father, Eliel Saarinen, was a prominent architect in Finland. We visited several of his sites in 2006. In 1923, when Eero was 13, the family moved to the United States where Eero became one of the most prominent architects of the 1950s. We've also visited some of his sites, the closest to us being Columbus, Indiana. But you may have been in the TWA terminal, or seen the John Deere building in Moline, IL. The video continues with other topics, you may have to search for the Saarinen piece, which today is at the beginning, but who knows tomorrow? Or you can click on the link.
