# Terminal 5, John F. Kennedy International Airport Design Operation: Displacement-Lift, Subtraction-Puncture <aside> 🗂️ The TWA Flight Center was designed by the renowned architect Eero Saarinen and is located at JFK International Airport in New York. It is one of the most iconic airport buildings of the 20th century. This structure showcases a highly futuristic design language and set a precedent in the field of aviation architecture at that time. The TWA terminal is not only a transportation hub but also a perfect blend of modernism and futurism, profoundly influencing the subsequent airport architectural style. The design concept of TWA Terminal emphasizes sleek lines, dynamic movement and open spaces. Its shape resembles a soaring bird, symbolizing the progress of the aviation industry and the freedom of flight. The building features a bold arched roof structure, creating a visual effect of flight. The exterior is both unique and dynamic, showcasing the innovation of technology and design. The architectural space is mainly characterized by openness and fluidity, eliminating the oppressive feeling of traditional architecture and creating an open, flowing and modern public environment. The interior of the building extensively uses glass curtain walls, which not only ensures the transparency and natural lighting of the space, but also strengthens the connection with the external environment. The overall design adopts modern steel structure and prefabricated concrete technology, enabling the building to maintain a sense of visual fluidity while also possessing solid structural stability. Although the TWA terminal building ceased operation in 1988, it remains a classic example in the history of aviation architecture. In 2019, this historic building was renovated and transformed into the TWA Hotel, becoming a perfect blend of modernity and history, and continues to attract tourists and architecture enthusiasts from all over the world. </aside> ### Architecture + Context ### Interior Space ### Construction Process ### Drawings ### Further Reading 7.
