The John Deere World Headquarters built in Moline, IL was designed by Eero Saarinen and the landscaping was designed by Hideo Sasaki. The project was officially completed in 1964 by Kevin Roche after Saarinen's death. This exquisite piece of architecture is used as an office space and museum, and is the main center for Deere & Company.

Google Earth View
Above is a screenshot of the site on Google Earth showing the site's quiet location away from the big city. There are many forests and grassland surrounding the headquarters and even small residential neighborhoods nearby. The building's location reflects the ideals of John Deere's of family-driven agriculture and the company's nature-oriented character.
