Jayne Merkel, board member of AD and the author of an authoratitive new book on Eero Saarinen, describes how Saarinen did much to advance the design of mass‐producible architecture in an era of postwar optimism. She traces both the roots of Saarinen's approach and describes how it sits alongside his carefully crafted expressionistic work, such as the TWA Terminal at JFK.
