  1. Really admire Saarinen and the building. But don't know why both exterior and interior feels a bit unhuman. The lack of furnishing? Lack of contrast between material and texture?

    Still admire the architect's creativity. Only to imagine how spectacular it would be if were built with current technology of polished glass, metal and plastic...

  3. Remarkable for being a public space that large without a lick of advertising.
