Eero Saarinen was born in Finland in 1910. He was destined to become not only an architect but a creative force of searching excellence. Saarinen became the winner of a competition to build a monument to symbolize the opening of the west-the St. Louis Gateway Arch. He would never live to see the dream completed. His vision, however, remains alive, an inspiration and an admonition to all of us who make buildings or commission them or work in them or live in them. 14 pages
