Eero Saarinen: An Architecture of Multiplicity
A handsome, long-overdue monograph on an architect who, between 1948 and his untimely death in 1961, created some of America's greatest icons-including Dulles Airport in Virginia, the Gateway Arch in St Louis, and the CBS tower in New York-as well as the classic Womb and Tulip chairs. Saarinen defied categorization, employing a different style for every job, and that...

3.0 out of 5 stars
Not a typical monograph and only in B&W, but close
This is not a typical, chronological monograph, as the projects are arbitrarily and a bit chaotically scattered, but the book resembles one. It is basically only in black and white. Only chapter title pages are in color. Not all projects are depicted well with plans, elevations, and sections, but somehow all are and approx. 70 photos are large and excellent. Other photos...

Eero Saarinen: An Architecture of Multiplicity,
By Michael Webb (London, England > Los Angeles, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eero Saarinen: An Architecture of Multiplicity (Hardcover)
A handsome, long-overdue monograph on an architect who, between 1948 and his untimely death in 1961, created some of America's greatest icons-including Dulles Airport in Virginia, the Gateway Arch in St Louis, and the CBS tower in New York-as well as the classic Womb and Tulip chairs. Saarinen defied categorization, employing a different style for every job, and that damned him in the eyes of many critics. Some of his buildings soar-the TWA Terminal at Kennedy, now imperiled, was once a thrilling expression of the jet age-others, like Stiles and Morse College at Yale, and the US Embassy in London fall with a thud. Roman, a Bilbao-based architect, traces the evolution of key buildings with an abundance of plans and images.

This review is from: Eero Saarinen: An Architecture of Multiplicity (Hardcover)
This is not a typical, chronological monograph, as the projects are arbitrarily and a bit chaotically scattered, but the book resembles one. It is basically only in black and white. Only chapter title pages are in color. Not all projects are depicted well with plans, elevations, and sections, but somehow all are and approx. 70 photos are large and excellent. Other photos are very small. The TWA Terminal, furniture, Yale colleges, Dulles Int'l Airport, St. Louis Arch, are shown extensively, while other projects - poorly more or less.
