The new TWA building by Eero Saarinen re-open, wrapped by JetBlue terminal

Terminal designed by Eero Saarinen is projected to open this year under a plan by Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.



There is a new building with $19 million budget named the JetBlue Airways terminal will be wrapping around the old TWA building built in 1962 by Saarinen in crescent shape. Known as Terminal 5, these two buildings may bring back the spirit of the modern architecture icon created by Eero Saarinen. See the video from youtube below

The terminal that has been closed in 2001 will be opened with the support of jetBlue new Terminal 5. Visitors and customers will still be able to check in at the JetBlue kiosk in Saarinen building and take the advantage of enjoying the landmarked architectural wonders exquiisite modernist design on their way to the terminal.

The good news of this is that TWA by Saarinen will be available again, even though there is not much to see in the new building, because it is not that-so-iconic building. The oval TV ring as the new attraction in the new building is not very strong, and is a functional building.



One element of Saarinen building that is still maintained is the trumpet-shaped lounge that used to sit at the end of one of the tubular corridors. This cost more than the budget planned because it was planned without consulting the redevelopment committee.

This we hope will bring back the iconic building in our new modern time.
