JFK Airport NY by  Eero Saarinen-1962



Saarinen’s original futuristic design featured a prominent wing-shaped thin shell roof over the main terminal (head house), unusual tube-shaped departure-arrival corridors originally wrapped in red carpet — and critical to the spirit of the design — expansive windows that highlighted departing and arriving jets. The concrete shell’s evocative shape — which inspired Saarinen to develop special, curved edge ceramic tile to conform to the curvilinear shapes — places the design into the categories of Futurist, Googie, and Fantastic architecture.
