INTERFACE MULTIMEDIA CREATES THE GALLERY MODEL OF SAARINEN'S TWA TERMINAL

Some of us are old enough to remember when TWA (Trans World Airlines) dominated the sky and its famous terminal at JFK airport in New York City. While the airline is a long lost memory by now, Eero Saarinen remains one of the 20th century's most prominently acclaimed architects and the designer of this impressive structure at JFK.
