1428 / Saarinen’s TWA / NYC

Back to JFK airport! I was so sleepy, I needed a coffee, and breakfast, but when I saw Saarinen’s #TWA I just sat on the first sunny bench and sketched, forgetting the hunger and coffee addiction. Saarinen’s building was commissioned in 1956, to “capture the spirit of flight”. He surely did it! 

 

1418 / United Nations Headquarters / NYC (sold)

Yesterday I had a nice brunch at Greenpoint with some friends that work at the United Nations. After that, I went to Long Island and drew that building. Le Corbu and Niemeyer’s edifice outstands for its proportions and light colors.
