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.

Building drawing
Here is a drawing of the John Deere Headquarters with a human scale located at the bottom right of the building. Examining the drawing, we can see that there are a multitude of repeated lines both horizontally and vertically, making orthogonal angles. The building is mostly bilaterally symmetrical disregarding the ventilation systems located at the roof of the building.
