THE NEW TRANS WORLD AIRLINES’ FLIGHT CENTRE at the Idlewild airport, New York, which was designed by Eero Saarinen, is a vast sculpture in concrete in a form suggesting a huge bird in flight. Its four intersecting vaults are separated by bands of glass skylight and are supported by four buttresses. From the flight centre, two flight wings stretch out to feed the aircraft with passengers and baggage. LEFT: A photograph showing the soaring lines of the centre.
