Coinciding with two exhibitions related to Eero Saarinen’s architectural legacy (at the Onera Foundation and the New Canaan Museum & Historical Society), this panel discussion will explore Saarinen’s contributions to design innovation and its legacy abroad, most notably the two embassies Saarinen designed in London and Oslo as part of the initiative known as the US Embassy Program. The panel will also address the afterlives of these modernist embassies, which have been decommissioned in recent years.
