modern designers we celebrate. Eero Saarinen "The son of architect and Cranbrook Academy of Art director Eliel Saarinen and his wife,
textile artist Loja, Eero Saarinen studied fine arts in Paris and architecture at Yale before
working on furniture design with Norman Bel Geddes and practicing architecture with his
father in Ann Arbor, Michigan. He collaborated on several projects, including a plywood leg
splint for the U.S. Army, with his friend, Cranbrook alumnus Charles Eames. He opened his
own practice in Ann Arbor in 1950. Among the many buildings for which he is known are
Dulles Airport in Washington, D.C. and the TWA Terminal at Kennedy International Airport
in New York. He was the recipient of numerous awards and the subject of many
exhibitions."
