A cylindrical, simple building built by the architect Eero Saarinen, the MIT chapel drew inspiration from classical styles. The closed design was intended to encourage visitors to experience more inward feelings and reflect on themselves while they worship.

A flight center located in New York City built by architect Eero Saarinen, Terminal 5 was recently repurposed to be a part of the TWA hotel.It has a modern, streamlined appearance, and was one of the earliest flight centers that had jetways extending from the interior to the planes present outside.

The characteristic steeple of the North Christian Church, created by architect Eero Saarinen, was intended to bring back a more traditional style of cathedral, while implementing hints of modern architecture. There were many rooms underground, such as a school and auditorium, while the only above ground visible area was the sanctuary in order to signify its importance.

An iconic landmark in the city of St. Louis, and the tallest manmade landmark in the United States, the Gateway Arch was created by architect Eero Saarinen. It creates a powerful impression on anyone who views it, and also a very recognizable skyline. It was built relating to St. Louis’s involvement in westward expansion.

This is somewhere I feel like I always have to stop by while I’m in downtown Nashville. The simple design of the front wall and hanging red sign make me feel welcomed, and create a casual atmosphere. I definitely associate this place with music, good food, and fun times spent with friends.

This is the school I went to for middle and high school, and was also my family’s church when I was young. This is where so much of my childhood happened, and I feel mixed feelings towards it. It reminds me of so many memories, and the flowing architecture with careful landscaping creates a relaxing atmosphere, however I still associate it with many of the stresses of school and organized, strict religion.

This was a very cozy cafe I used to frequent near the University of Oklahoma campus. The well-lit and spacious atmosphere made it very easy to relax, and the smell of roasting coffee was also oddly soothing and made me always feel welcome. It was a gathering place for my friends and I to catch up, and a great reading nook on a chilly, rainy day. I’m very sad that they closed down, as it was a very unique place to go.

This building is notorious for being the ugly, plain building on campus and has earned the nickname “the blender”. It is where many students take math and science classes, and stresses me out when I see it because I associate it with chemistry exams. However, now that I have not visited it in a while, I have a feeling of nostalgia towards it and recall the times I’ve gone to classes with my friends there.
