	TWA Terminal New York by Eero Saarinen
		Saarinen's terminal for TWA is sculpted as a symbol of flight - abstract, and not intentionally as a landing eagle as it has often been described.
		The TWA Terminal is numbered Terminal 5 at JFK.
		Currently the terminal is closed for renovation and development, and therefore closed to visitors.

	AIArchitect, July 30, 2001 - Saarinen's TWA Terminal and the Moment of Truth
		Saarinen's TWA Terminal—the great, swooping concrete bird—captured the essence of flight poised on the threshold of the Jet Age.
		In fact, view of the wonderful TWA Terminal of yore (and "yore" was a scant 40 years ago) exists only in our minds, and in magnificent photos such as Ezra Stoller's unforgettable series.
		Thankfully, the TWA Terminal is in the capable hands of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which is making every effort to save the terminal and incorporate it—albeit with a new use—as the architectural flagship of the modernized international airport.

		One of the last works of famed designer Eero Saarinen, the TWA terminal is an irreplaceable modern icon cherished by millions of travelers and architecture buffs.
		Current plans call for substantial demolition of the terminal's innovative flight satellite concourses, the construction of a hulking U-shaped building around its airside and a light rail system which bypasses the historic building and blocks the TWA Terminal's view of the tarmac.

	No-thrill air travel has made the former TWA terminal obsolete, but still an architectural wonder
		Although TWA was bought by American Airlines, the great terminal was abandoned and at one point was even in danger of being torn down.
		The economics of airport terminal layout have changed since the '60s, of course, but the TWA terminal is timeless.
		There, the beautiful swooping roof of the terminal, now too small for the amount of traffic through the airport, was kept as a check-in area, and passengers are bused to their gates at several midfield terminals.

		Since its completion in 1962, the TWA Terminal at John F. Kennedy International Airport has served as an icon of both modern air travel and modern design.
		Her particular interest in tourist sites and destinations was the basis of an idea to stage a series of installations that respond to and are situated within the arch-symbol of commercial travel itself.
		The result, Terminal 5, presents site-specific works by 18 artists, as well as a series of lectures, events, and additional temporary installations (see sidebar), on view from October 1 to January 31.

		One of these new terminals is directly adjacent to the world famous TWA Terminal designed by Eero Saarinen between 1956 and 1962.
		In addition, as part of the construction of an adjacent new terminal, a portion of the original TWA Terminal and its gate structures are scheduled for demolition.
		It is sad to me that New York, and a nation which commissioned and produced the masterpiece TWA Terminal, cannot, or is not willing to take an innovative approach to the preservation and re-use of a designated Landmark of the City of New York.

		Completed in 1962, Eero Saarinen's TWA terminal at New York City's John F. Kennedy Airport has been closed since October 2001 while its owner, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, weighed options for the landmarked building's future.
		With its sweeping lines, soaring roof and curving interiors, the terminal is a popular emblem of the 1960s jet age, when air travel was still an adventure.
		Before it closed, the terminal had been altered repeatedly to add more ticket counters, security and baggage equipment, and other elements that cluttered the interior spaces.

		NEW YORK (AP) — JetBlue Airways wants to use the landmark TWA terminal at Kennedy Airport as part of an expansion in the airline's operations, according to a published report.
		The airline has proposed constructing a new terminal behind the historic building and using the old terminal's passenger bridges to link the two, The New York Times reported Thursday.
		Preservationists and architects have sought to preserve the original use of the terminal, which was designed by Eero Saarinen in 1962 and designated a city landmark in 1994.

		The original terminal, icon of the jet age, would be adapted into a restaurant or a conference center -- or something.
		By shunting passengers to the back terminal, the architects would turn Saarinen's building from a gateway whose swooping forms choreograph the movement of people from land to air into a vestigial appendage.
		Many of the architects who today are designing directly with the computer have been fascinated with the TWA terminal, and they are heirs to Saarinen's organic model.

		The fate of Eero Saarinen’s Jet Age icon, the TWA Terminal (1962) at JFK Airport, continues to be uncertain.
		These communications called upon the authorities to keep the building as a functioning terminal, until a suitable new use could be worked out in tandem with an appropriate addition worthy of the Saarinen masterpiece.
		The most popular idea is for the Saarinen building to become the symbol of JFK through use as a respite center for travelers, as are found at international hubs worldwide, with spaces for a New York region visitor’s center, fine dining, relaxation and business conferences.

	Terminal 5 - New York Magazine Art Review
		Organized by Rachel K. Ward, the show was a contemporary meditation on travel staged in Eero Saarinen’s celebrated and now unused TWA terminal.
		Opened in 1962 and shaped like an abstract bird, his terminal is a marvelous celebration of the wheeling curve rather than the contained rectangle.
		The mixture of time and sensibility in “Terminal 5” is surreally stimulating, even when the contemporary art is weak.

		The proposed light rail system and the new structure will block the TWA Terminal’s view of the tarmac and leave Saarinen’s terminal isolated and functionally useless.
		In September of 2003 a consulting party meeting was held with the FAA, Port Authority, Jet Blue (the new terminal’s intended occupant) and interested public officials and private groups to urge appropriate reuse of the terminal.
		By keeping the dialogue with the Port Authority open, there is hope that a preservation solution can be found which incorporates the safety and efficiency needs of a modern airport facility with a sympathetic use for the historic building.

		"One of the most self-assured, self-confident— even self-conscious—buildings to emerge as a result of the interplay of the architectonic and engineer-inspired buildings was Saarinen's TWA Terminal Buildings at New York.
		Its bird-like symbolism, exciting forms and cavernous interior were not simply a casual reminder of the changes that had taken place in architectural thinking in the 1950s, but a demonstration of the architect's role as an originator and, in the American scene, as a 'building stylist'...Clearly it represented a revival of architectural Expressionism..."

		I strongly recommend Ezra Stoller's book "The TWA Terminal," which is a collection of his photographs of the terminal when it was being built and shortly after it opened.
