S25-47 Flying with TWA
Zoom Bus Tour | Registration opens 3/3/2025 9:00 AM
This Zoom course will be recorded. Let's go! I am going to take you on a journey to a building cited in Time Magazine's 2019 edition of its "World's Greatest Places", The TWA Hotel. The original architect was Eero Saarinen, and his design was extraordinary and was considered an architectural gem in 1962. Now, in 2025, the revamped building is a dazzling example of modernist design. We'll describe the 512 rooms, the Jean-Georges Vogerichten restaurant, the unique cocktail lounge in a converted Lockheed Constellation airplane. We will see the wonderful museum there devoted to aviation history. We will have a walk back in time, providing memories of air travel past, to our present day!
