Prior to the World Trade Center, he designed a couple of buildings on the campus of Oberlin College and Conservatory. I got to see these buildings during a visit to see my niece.

That R-O (Royal-Oak) tool grinder would really look nice in my shop. Makes a person wonder when and where that machine was taken or sold to when it left its place in the public eye. I also wonder how long that maintenance headache of ceiling decor lasted, they must of have had long handled duster brushes not to mention fixing the lighting above it.

Wow, "zhuzh" indeed! The before-the-remodel photo shows a boring, ordinary building that is purely functional. Thank you, Mr. Yamasaki, for adding pizzazz to this airport. (And thank you, Archfan, for posting the before photo)

The World Trade Center, and the Pruit-Igoe housing projects in St. Louis

It's an auto show and an airport.

So many unused baggage tags, so little luggage.

Yamasaki was brought in to zhuzh up the original Albert Kahn building without changing any of the structure. Here's a photo from before the remodel. The ceiling is made up of hundreds of hanging panels - the world's most complicated drop ceiling!

In 1958 Willow Run seemingly had a lock on nearly all of the commercial airline traffic in the greater Detroit-Ann Arbor area. But the cutting-edge architecture from famous industrial architects could not save Willow Run from being surpassed by its newer, smaller competitor in nearby Romulus -- Detroit Metro Airport. In a dynamic that would become all to familiar in the adjacent auto industry, Willow Run was nearly put out of business within the next decade by a more aggressive competitor.
