Below is a brief summary of the architects that were directectly associated with

(Eero) Saarinen and Associates. It is by no means an exhaustive dig, but might

provide starting points or hints for others here. This list was obtained from

[0].

Note the age of most of these people.

Kevin Roche

(1922 - 2019 (96))

> Roche was Saarinen's right hand man, and did not leave his side until Eero's

> death (55, very premature by architects' standards); the firm that bears

> Roche's name in fact completed several of Saarinen's designs unbuild at the

> time of his death.

>

> "In 1949, he worked at the planning office for the United Nations Headquarters

> building in New York City. In 1950, he joined the firm of Eero Saarinen and

> Associates. His future partner, John Dinkeloo (1918-1991), joined the firm in

> 1951 and this was also where Roche met his wife Jane. In 1954, he became the

> Principal Design Associate to Saarinen and assisted him on all projects from

> that time until Saarinen's death in September 1961." [1]

>

> "In 1966, Roche and Dinkeloo formed Kevin Roche John Dinkeloo and Associates

> and completed Saarinen's projects. They completed 12 major unfinished Saarinen

> builds, including some of Saarinen's best-known work: the Gateway Arch, the

> expressionistic TWA Flight Center at JFK International Airport in New York

> City, Dulles International Airport outside Washington, DC, the strictly modern

> John Deere Headquarters in Moline, Illinois, and the CBS Headquarters building

> in New York City." [1]

>

> "This project was followed by the equally highly acclaimed Ford Foundation

> building in New York City, considered the first large-scale architectural

> building in the USA to devote a substantial portion of its space to

> horticultural pursuits. Its famous atrium was designed with the notion of

> having urban green-space accessible to all and is an early example of the

> application of environmental psychology in architecture. The building was

> recognized in 1968 by Architectural Record as 'a new kind of urban space'."

> [1]

>

> "Environmental psychology was not fully recognized as its own field until the

> late 1960s when scientists began to question the tie between human behavior

> and our natural and built environments. Since its conception, the field

> has been committed to the development of a discipline that is both value

> oriented and problem oriented, prioritizing research aimed at solving complex

> environmental problems in the pursuit of individual well-being within a larger

> society." [2]

Chuck Bassett

(1922 – 1999 (77))

Not too much of note, though his work was obviously influenced by his time with

Saarinen. He was the architect of record for the Columbus, IN City Hall [8] (via

Skidmore, Owings and Merrill).

>"Edward Charles 'Chuck' Bassett (1922–1999)[1] was an American architect

>based in San Francisco. Born in Port Huron, Michigan. Bassett was a Fellow

>at the American Academy in Rome in 1970. He served as design partner in the

>San Francisco office of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill for 26 years, from 1955

>through his retirement in 1981. He was elected into the National Academy of

>Design as an Associate member in 1970, and became a full member in 1990." [4]

>

>"Skidmore, Owings and Merrill" is notable since it seems to be coming up often

>in this dig. Also notable is his association with Cranbrook (more on this

>later):

>

>"Following his return and graduation from Michigan, he received a master's

>degree in architecture and was a member of Finnish architect Eliel Saarinen's

>last studio at Cranbrook in Bloomfield Hills, Mich. He later served his

>apprenticeship with world-famous Eero Saarinen, Eliel's son." [5]

>

>"His many award-winning accomplishments include the Louise M. Davies Symphony

>Hall, the Bank of America headquarters, the Ferry Port Plaza, Muni Metro

>stations designs, the Crocker Galleria and the Industrial Indemnity Building,

>all in San Francisco. He also designed the Oakland Coliseum, the U.S.

>Embassy complex in Moscow, the Australian Mutual Provident Society complex

>in Melbourne, the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel in Hawaii, and the Royal Dutch Shell

>headquarters in The Hague." [5]

Gunnar Birkert

(1925 – 2017 (age 92))

There are many digs to be had here; Notabe projects are the Castle of Light,

Lincoln Elementary School and St. Peter's Lutherin Church in Columbus (IN),

creepy Corning glass museum (greatly connected to Corning), the St Louis Airport

main terminal. He is well know on the subject of subterrenean design and

construction. [19]

>He was a, "was a Latvian American architect who, for most of his career, was

>based in the metropolitan area of Detroit, Michigan. Some of his designs

>include the Corning Museum of Glass and the Corning Fire Station in Corning,

>New York, Marquette Plaza in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the Kemper Museum of

>Contemporary Art in Kansas City, Missouri, and the U.S. Embassy in Caracas,

>Venezuela." [9]

>

>[22a] Discussion during AIA meeting in Columbus, IN where Birkerts reveals

some >personal and professional notes related to his working along side of >the

Saarinens at Cranbrook. Birkert did work there for some time. (Birkerts was in

town for the even that can be dug in [22b], an AIA conference in Columbus, IN.

>

>An additional biography is available thanks to the University of Michigan,

>where he taught architecture:

>

>"Born in Latvia, Gunnar Birkerts studied architecture at the Technische

>Hochschule in Stuttgart, Germany, receiving the Diplom-Ingeneur Architekt in

>1949. He came to the United States immediately, working one year for Perkins

>and Will in Chicago, five years for Eero Saarinen & Associates in Bloomfield

>Hills, and three years for Minoru Yamasaki & Associates in Birmingham. He

>formed his first office in 1959 and, since 1960, he has taught architectural

>design at the University of Michigan. Professor Birkerts is one of the world's

>foremost architects. Since 1954, his buildings have earned him over 25 major

>design awards and dozens of others. His work has been cited in numerous

>professional journals around the world and exhibited by a dozen prestigious

>institutions, including the Bienniale, Sao Paulo, Brazil; the Museum of Modern

>Art in New York; the New York Architectural League; and the American Academy

>and Institute of Arts and Letters. He was selected to serve as juror for the

>R.S. Reynolds Metal Award, one of the most eminent international awards given

>to architects. The great variety of his work was celebrated in a splendid

>monograph published in 1982 by GA Architect." [10]

>

>"The National Library of Latvia (Latvian: Latvijas Nacionālā bibliotēka) also

>known as Castle of Light (Gaismas pils) is a national cultural institution

>under the supervision of the Ministry of Culture of Latvia. The National

>Library of Latvia was formed in 1919 after the independent Republic of Latvia

>was proclaimed in 1918. The first supervisor of the Library was Jānis Misiņš, a

>librarian and the founder of the Latvian scientific bibliography (1862–1945)."

>[11]

>>6643820

Pictures and information on the Castle of Light can be had at [12].

>"The National Library of Latvia (NLL) is founded in 1919. One of the key

>cornerstones of the NLL is the establishment of a national literature

>collection, its perpetual preservation and long-term public access. With more

>than 4 million units, the collection is the essence of the library, comprising

>Latvian and foreign publications about Latvia and Latvians, works issued in

>Latvia and also works of Latvian authors. The NLL promotes free and inventive

>usage of Latvia's cultural and scientific heritage, and its mission is to

>foster education, research, the development of knowledge and the quality of

>life." [13]; more information can be read in [15] and links contained therein.

This extended quote from [14] is revealing about the man, no doubt he and

Saarinen were similarly minded:

>Although Gunnar Birkerts lives in the USA and a majority of his designed

>buildings are located there (architect works also elsewhere in the world,

>for example, in Europe – Italy, Germany, Finland, as well as Venezuela),

>biographers and critics of Birkerts emphasize that he is not a typical American

>architect. Birkerts’ perception of space and lighting, as well as language of

>form is related to Scandinavia, which he regards includes also Latvia. Presence

>of European culture in the projects of architect is not conscious, but is

>determined by genetic and cultural heritage, as well as experience. Similarly

>to a large number of Scandinavian architects, also Birkerts can be classified

>as expressive modernist who connects successfully rational logic and emotional

>effect in his works.

>

>The architect himself believes that interaction of strict geometry and creative

>freedom gives the necessary expressiveness for a project. One of the signs

>that indicates Birkerts’ Scandinavian feel for the structure of space is

>the substantial presence of nature in his projects. Yet architect never

>uses literal natural shapes, rather their symmetrical and geometric balance

>with irregularity and free line. Feel of the so-called “northern light” is

>characteristic to buildings designed by Birkerts. A significant place is

>devoted to the natural daylight. Presence of light in Birkerts’ projects is

>mostly indirect, diffused and self-evidently organic. It mostly appears in the

>interior as a skylight or light reflected an diffused off a surface. In order

>to accomplish the conceptual message of a building and to solve functional

>challenges, the architect uses latest technologies available at the time of

>designing, bestowing them with poeticism, rather than just assigning them role

>of witnesses to rational progress.

>

>There are 18 projects of libraries among Gunnar Birkerts’ many works. Each of

>them embodies particular stage in the professional career of Birkerts, and is

>a reflection of perception of architecture at that time. Libraries designed by

>the architect are all different, he does not attempt to rigidly maintain one

>creative style, but surrenders to each project’s specifications – the function,

>context, budget and also previously unknown solutions, which are defined by

>the times. They do not only provide storage for books, but are also centers of

>education which are comfortable for readers and ergonomic in operation, and are

>gladly visited by thousands of people.

>

>Gunnar Birkerts holds the view that architecture will always be a form of

>art for him. Yes, a useful work of art, but nevertheless art that fulfills

>ambitions and dreams, art that is a bridge from the past into yet unknown

>future.

This section could go on forever, but here is a final interesting nugget.

Birkerts was selected in 2001 to update the Cathedral of the Most Blessed

Sacrament in Detroit, MI. [17]. On his website (now unavaliable except for

archive.org), it shows this project as "current" [18]. There are probably a lot

of interesting digs from his defunct website alone.

Anthony Lumsden

(1928 – 2011 (83))

(All from [84]):

>He was American architect most noted for his sculptural and often "futuristic"

>designs. His projects in Southern California such as the Tillman Water

>Reclamation Plant are often seen in Hollywood films and televisions shows such

>as Star Trek Next Generation as part of Starfleet Academy.

>

>His first job at Eero Saarinen & associates in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan was

>running the blue print machine. He soon got an opportunity to work on a new

>chapel design for Concordia Senior College and Eero noticed his talent. He

>quickly became a core member of the design team at the office and met numerous

>famous designers and artists of the time such as Charles and Ray Eames, Mies

>Van Der Rohe and Alexander Calder. After Eero's death, he continued to work

>with Kevin Roche* and John Dinkeloo in Hamden, Connecticut. During this period

>of time he worked on several National AIA award-winning projects such as the

>General Motors Technical Center.

>

>In 1965, Lumsden and colleague Cesar Pelli* left Roche-Dinkeloo to work in

>California together at Daniel, Mann, Johnson & Mendenhall where Lumsden soon

>became Principal for Design for the firm and stayed in that position for over

>25 years.

>

>Lumsden died of pancreatic cancer in Los Angeles, California, at the age of 83.

>He was survived by his wife and three children.

Leonard Parker

(1923 - 2011 (88))

>He worked with the renowned Modernist Eero Saarinen on projects including the

>Gateway Arch in St. Louis. He was 88 when he died.

>

>Upon receiving a master’s in architecture from MIT in 1950, he worked with the

>renowned Modernist Eero Saarinen on projects including the Gateway Arch in St.

>Louis. In 1958, he established Leonard Parker Associates, which would go on to

>The University of Minnesota Law School (1978) and the Hubert Humphrey Institute

>(1986) elevated the architectural quality of the bleak West Bank campus.

>Minnesota Public Radio (1979) brought a snappy but sensitive modernism to

>a handsome and highly functional district on the south end of downtown.

>The Minnesota Judicial Center (1998) expanded the old Historical Society

Glen Paulsen

(1917 - 2012 (95))

Associated with Cranbrook. Contributed to [94], which is very similar to the

church in Columbus:

>The congregation opted to go with the design after finding that their plans

>for a traditional Gothic Revival building would be too costly. In 1946 a new

>pastor, Reverend William A. Buege, contacted the elder Saarinen, then the

>president of the Cranbrook Academy of Art, and convinced him to take the

>commission. Saarinen had designed the pioneering First Christian Church in

>Columbus, Indiana in 1941 and used it as a model. It was Eliel Saarinen's last

>building; he died the following year. Upon the church's opening, Saarinen noted

>"if a building is honest, the architecture is religious." [94]

>

>[94] An addition, the education building (connected by an arcade and interior

>hallways) was designed under the supervision of Eero Saarinen by his former

>employee Glen Paulsen, and completed in 1962. By coincidence it was also Eero's

>last completed project; he died the year before. The addition is organized

>around a courtyard and was carefully designed to complement and complete their

>earlier worship building.

Columbus (movie, 2017)

>There is a movie set with the back drop of the architecture in Columbus, IN

>called "Columbus" from 2017 [156]:

>

>A Korean-born man finds himself stuck in Columbus, Indiana, where his architect

>father is in a coma. The man meets a young woman who wants to stay in Columbus

>with her mother, a recovering addict, instead of pursuing her own dreams.

>Trivia:

>* Shot in 18 days.

>* When Casey shows Jin her school, Jin comments: "That's brutal". The referenced building (Southside Elementary in Columbus, Indiana) was created by Eliot Noyes in Brutalist style.

>* Columbus, Indiana is known as "The Athens on the Prarie"

>* According to Kogonada, for Casey architecture is "an entrance to a way of seeing."

>* Columbus, Indiana is known for its unique modern architecture.

>* In an interview after a screening of the film, Kogonada stated that one of the major influences for the film was filmmaker Yasujirô Ozu, particularly his film Tokyo Story (1953). [??]:

>

>Elderly couple Shukishi and Tomi Hirayama live in the small coastal village of

>Onomichi, Japan with their youngest daughter, schoolteacher Kyoko Hirayama.

>Their other three surviving adult children, who they have not seen in quite

>some time, live either in Tokyo or Osaka. As such, Shukishi and Tomi make the

>unilateral decision to have an extended visit in Tokyo with their children,

>pediatrician Koichi Hirayama and beautician Shige Kaneko, and their respective

>families (which includes two grandchildren). In transit, they make an

>unexpected stop in Osaka and stay with their other son, Keiso Hirayama. All of

>their children treat the visit more as an obligation than a want, each trying

>to figure out what to do with their parents while they continue on with their

>own daily lives. At one point, they even decide to ship their parents off to an

>inexpensive resort at Atami Hot Springs rather than spend time with them. The

>only offspring who makes a concerted effort on this trip is Noriko
