This is a list of houses, commercial buildings, educational facilities, furniture designs, and other structures designed by Finnish-American architect Eero Saarinen (1910âÂÂ1961). Many of Saarinen's early designs were in collaboration with his father Eliel Saarinen. Only after his father died in 1950 did Saarinen design buildings on his own in earnest. During his career, he designed buildings for large corporations such as Bell Labs, IBM, CBS, and General Motors. In addition, he designed several airport terminals and university buildings, along with numerous structures for the businessman J. Irwin Miller. When Saarinen died suddenly in 1961, ten of his buildings were still under development.
