THOUSANDS of visitors are expected at New York's John F Kennedy International Airport on Sunday to get a last look at the iconic architecture of the Trans World Airlines Flight Center before the futuristic 1960s building is converted into a hotel.
The terminal, built in 1962 as an uplifting symbol of the Jet Age, was designed by renowned Finnish-born architect Eero Saarinen, who also created St Louis's Gateway Arch. The terminal's cavernous arched white ceilings will be renovated to include guest rooms, conference space and an observation deck.
