In the 1960s, most major metropolitan cities
throughout the world were in danger of becom-
ing an urban oasis of innocuous aluminum
and glass architectural structures. All of that
changed in 1965 when a new headquarters
building for the Columbia Broadcasting System
(CBS), designed by the modernist architect Eero
Saarinen (1910–1961) with interiors by Florence
Knoll (b. 1917), was completed in New York City.
