Eero Saarinen was born in Finland but practiced in the United States.  He worked on some of the most iconic mid-century structures such as the St. Louis Arch, Dulles Airport Terminal and pictured here the TWA terminal.  All of his designs used sweeping curved forms to create wonderful spaces.  These curves softened the hard edges of modernism while giving a timeless quality to his architecture.
