Where Today Meets Tomorrow (Saarinen). Eero Saarinen and the General Motors Technical Center

Princeton Architectural Press. Hardcover. Pp: 256. Completed in 1956 and designated a National Historic Landmark in 2014, the General Motors Technical Center in Warren, Michigan, is one of the largest and most influential examples of corporate campus modernism in the US. Susan Skarsgard weaves a detailed account of the early days of General Motors, the conception of the Technical Center under Eliel Saarinen, the fruition of the design and construction under Eero Saarinen, and the acclaim the project received on its opening. Many leading lights of midcentury modernism make appearances, including Harry Bertoia, Charles and Ray Eames, Alexander Girard, Florence Knoll, Gere Kavanaugh, and Alexander Calder. This richly illustrated, in-depth account is a unique document of a landmark project through a fascinating collection of interviews, historical records and artifacts, drawings, photographs, and ephemera.
