Saarinen’s TWA Terminal

New York-based – and NY lover – photographer Max Touhey captured the last images of Eero Saarinen’s 1962 terminal at John F. Kennedy International Airport before its transformation into an hotel.

On June 2015, while the staff of a team of digital scanning was at work recording every detail of Eero Saarinen’s 1962 terminal at John F. Kennedy International Airport to make a digital 3D model, photographer Max Touhey was granted access to capture the closed-to-the-public building just ahead of its transformation into a boutique hotel.
