Currently under renovation in order to turn its soaring shell into a hotel, Eero Saarinen‘s iconic TWA Flight Center has been off limits to the public since 2001. However last week, while a team of digital preservationists were making scans of the swooping curves of the building’s interior, photographer Max Touhey was allowed access, camera in hand, to catalog the building’s mid-century elegance. The photoset, published in full on Curbed NY, shows the building in a generally good condition considering its decade-long slumber. Read on after the break for a selection of these images.
