    Eliel and Eero Saarinen occupy a unique position in the history of modem design. From Helsinki's famous railroad station to the Cranbrook Academy to the CBS Headquarters their work spans two continents and eight decades and has had a major influence on twentieth-century architecture and city planning. Eliel Saarinen: Projects stands alone in its treatment of the elder Saarinen's Finnish work in terms both of scholarship and production. Saarinen's ability to present his plans in expressive drawings was his trademark. Often considered independent works of art, 200 of these drawings are reproduced here in full color and augmented by 900 black and white illustrations in an unusually fine example of architectural bookmaking.
