Steve Robbins; TWA’s Iconic Terminal Building at JFK International Airport
Remember when flying was an occasion—and airports promised a glimpse of the future? Join Steve Robbins for “TWA’s Iconic Idlewild Airport (JFK) Terminal,” a look at one of the most distinctive buildings of the jet age. Designed by architect Eero Saarinen and opened in 1962, the TWA Flight Center captured the excitement of air travel with sweeping concrete curves, soaring glass walls, and a roof that seemed ready to take flight.
Built at New York’s Idlewild Airport, later renamed John F. Kennedy International Airport, the terminal made an architectural statement before passengers ever boarded a plane. Its flowing interior and dramatic silhouette reflected an era when airlines competed in style as well as service, and modern design expressed confidence in the future. For anyone who remembers dressing up to fly—or simply appreciates a remarkable building—this program offers an inviting trip back to aviation’s glamorous years. Come explore a landmark where architecture and the romance of flight came together.
