I stayed at O'Hare airport , snowed in .. All night I could hear them de-icing the wings.. airports can be super convenient places to sleep but noisy and smelly, Jet A has particular odor, likes to hang in the air.
While this structure is an absolute masterpiece of architecture, right up there with Corbusier's Ronchamp, I probably won't be staying overnight there, heck I live 44 min from the airport..but I will for sure grab a cocktail and stroll around. Why didn't an airline just take it as their terminal? You could see Swiss Air or Virgin Airlines in there. It was the ONLY good thing about TWA back in the day, a reason to fly that airliner out of that airport. Eero Saarinen showed us a future that didn't exactly arrive. Glad this building was saved.
