	Romaldo Giurgola - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Romaldo (Aldo) Giurgola (born September 2, 1920, Rome, Italy) is an Italian-American-Australian academic architect, professor, and author.
		Giurgola was educated at the University of Rome La Sapienza, received a master's degree in architecture from Columbia University, and has been a partner in Philadelphia firm Mitchell/Giurgola Architects since 1958.
		The design was consonant with a certain aesthetic preoccupation with aviation, flight, technology and space travel of the time, the same Zeitgeist that produced Saarinen's TWA Terminal at Kennedy International Airport.
