The architectural firm of Kevin Roche John Dinkeloo and Associates LLC (additionally known as "KRJDA" and "Roche Dinkeloo") was the direct outgrowth of Eero Saarinen and Associates, which was established in 1950. After Saarinen's passing in 1961, the practice was taken over by Kevin Roche and John Dinkeloo. Together they worked to complete the remaining design on Saarinen's major projects including the Dulles International Airport, the St. Louis Gateway Arch, the TWA Flight Center at New York's JFK Airport and the CBS Headquarters in New York.
Renamed as Kevin Roche John Dinkeloo and Associates in 1966, the firm engaged in major projects throughout the United States, Europe and Asia and provided complete master planning, architectural design, interior design, and construction administration services. The firm designed a great variety of institutional and corporate projects including 38 corporate headquarters, eight museums, numerous research facilities, theaters, schools, factories, performing arts centers, hotels and private residences, including the Ford Foundation and the a new master plan for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, both in New York City.
