Description

Black and white photograph of the construction of an airport terminal at JFK International Airport (formerly known as Idlewild Airport) designed by Eero Saarinen. Construction crews are pictured pouring concrete to form the roof of the terminal.

Original Caption: "Control of concrete -- in both plastic and hardened states -- played a vital role in achieving this distinctive wedding of architecture, engineering and construction. Pozzolith was used as the plasticizing, water-reducing, set-controlling concrete admixture. For the continuous, monlithic concreting of the steep-sloped roof shells, it provided the precise set control required by the contractor to achieve the complex geometry of the roof shell contours."
