Quick View
Eero Saarinen’s 1962 design for the Trans World Airlines (TWA) Terminal was a staggeringly impressive Neo-futurist design, which I’d long admired. When it reopened recently as The TWA Hotel, I was lucky enough to check in as a guest. Strolling around the iconic structure, looking up into the vaulted roof from the elegantly cantilevered marquee, I stepped onto the red carpeted jetway and found myself transported through a time portal, as if hearing my transcontinental flight back to Hollywood get called. The TWA Terminal illustrates the power of monochrome, for me. Whether it is architecture or a dramatic landscape, stripping back an image to black and white removes all distraction from an image. The brain downshifts to take in pure detail, with an intense pleasure.
