For those of you taking Todd's 3D-CAD class (Revit), here are some online video tutorials on Design ReForm. They are created by Dave Fano who works at SHoP Architects and teaches at Columbia University. On the site there are also tutorials for other programs such as Rhino and 3Ds Max.

Eero Saarinen
For the first Architect-profile post (in what I intend to be weekly postings--we'll see how that works out), I am going to focus on Eero Saarinen.
Saarinen was born in Finland in 1910, moved with his family to America at the age of 13. He spent much of his life living and working in Michigan with his father, Eliel Saarinen. His most well-know architectural works include the St. Louis Gateway Arch, the TWA Terminal at JFK airport in NY, Dulles Int'l airport in Washington DC, corporate headquarters for John Deere, IBM, GM, and CBS. His furniture for Knoll, including the iconic pedestal series and Womb Chair. Saarinen died at 51 in 1961, having a relatively brief but prolific career.
More on Saarinen at wikipedia.
Here is a flickr group devoted to the work of Saarinen.
Entry of works at Great Buildings Online.
Link to a video documentary on youtube on the St. Louis Arch.
Here is a page that coincides with the ongoing/travelling exhibit of Saarinen's work which was on display at the National Building Museum during the ArchClub trip to DC.

ArchClub trip to Washington DC and Pennsylvania
There are some pictures from the ArchClub's trip to DC and PA posted on Arktek's flickr page.
The trip included (of course) the Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, WWII Memorial, Vietnam Memorial, National Archives, National Gallery of Art, National Building Museum (Eero Saarinen and David Macaulay exhibits), Frank Lloyd Wright's Usonian Pope-Leighey house outside DC, then a day in PA to see FLW's Fallingwater and Kentuck Knob. (still working on uploading some of these, so be patient)
