Inside the Retro JFK Terminal That’s Been Closed for 14 Years

As LaGuardia Airport preps for a $4 billion overhaul, perhaps designers should look to the past for inspiration. Specifically, they should consider this TWA terminal that sits abandoned at JFK for ideas. It’s stunning, in a mod sort of way. Photographer Max Touhey was recently granted access to the untouched structure designed by Eero Saarinen many decades ago, and now you can take a peek inside. There’s hardly a sharp edge to be found. The long abandoned terminal is soon to be transformed into a luxury hotel.
