Notes
  • Significance: The TWA Flight Center at JFK Airport, opened in May 1962, is a significant example of mid-20th century modern architecture, engineering, and airline terminal planning. A masterpiece of expressionist architecture, it was designed by Eero Sarinen, one of the preeminent architects of mid-century modernism in America, as a direct rebuttal to the abstracted rectilinear forms of the International Style which dominated corporate American architecture in the 1950s. The Terminal was a carefully considered response to the conditions at New York International Airport (now JFK), specifically the Terminal City master plan adopted by the Port Authority of New York in 1955. Its use of satellite passenger loading areas was an influential innovation in airport terminal design. Linked to the historical development of JFK Airport, the history of the TWA Company, and airport design, the TWA terminal has made a significant contribution to the history of American air travel.
