Join Susan Saarinen, Eero Saarinen’s daughter, and Mark Coir, a family historian, in an intimate look at the remarkable legacy and fascinating lives of the Saarinens, arguably the preeminent artistic family of the twentieth century.
 
 

While Eero Saarinen’s career was cut short by his death in 1961 at age 51, his legacy was propelled forward by the architecture of Kevin Roche John Dinkeloo and Associates, headed by two of Saarinen’s key office colleagues. Join Pritzker Prize-winning architect Kevin Roche for a conversation featuring Eeva-Liisa Pelkonen, Associate Professor, Yale School of Architecture and curator Donald Albrecht, co-editor of the exhibition catalog Eero Saarinen: Shaping the Future. The panelists will explore Mr. Roche’s extraordinary impact on New York City, from unbuilt proposals to major commissions such as the Ford Foundation and the ongoing expansions of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
 
 

With its emphasis on experimental materials and construction techniques, mid-century modern architecture often poses enormous challenges for owners, developers, and preservationists. Join Andrew S. Dolkart, urban architectural historian and author of Guide to New York City Landmarks (Wiley & Sons, 1998) as he moderates a discussion with Belmont Freeman, founder of Belmont Freeman Architects; Nina Rappaport, chair of DOCOMOMO/New York-Tristate and editor of Constructs, the Yale School of Architecture’s magazine; Frank Sanchis, Senior Vice-President of the Municipal Art Society; and Theo Prudon, President of DOCOMOMO/US, exploring the preservation of 20th-century architecture as represented by New York area Saarinen buildings such as TWA and Bell Labs (Holmdel).
