The Lambert terminal was completed in 1956. TWA in 1962. The Lambert terminal was the first big open space air terminal in the nation. Yamasaki was trying to evoke the sense of anticipation that the great train stations evoked at the heyday of the train era. Terminals that followed, such as Denver, point to Lambert as one of icons they chose to emulate to get that big open dramatic meeting space terminal feeling. Sarinen might have used it as inspiration for the TWA terminal, since he probably traveled to St. Louis frequently for his St. Louis Gateway Arch development. Unlike the TWA, the Lambert teriminal has been in continuous use since it was built. It is being refurbished to get back to the bright / airy design afforded by the thin concrete arch forms.

I wonder if one can create something adult size that gracefully conforms at a reasonable price with some basic creature comforts.
