TWA Terminal, 1962

TWA Flight Center is an airplane terminal in New York City’s JFK International Airport. It was opened in 1962. The original design featured a prominent wing-shaped thin shell roof over the head house, or main terminal; unusual tube-shaped red-carpeted departurearrival corridors; and tall windows enabling expansive views of departing and arriving jets. The design straddles the Futurist, Neo-futurist, Googie and Fantastic architectural styles.
