AIRPORT DESIGN

Airports are highly appealing places. Gateways to the big wide world, they represent international movement and inspire travel. This book shows you not only real terminals but also airport-specific design and architecture – from VIP lounges to passenger routes, from control towers to hangars and airplan museums. Because of their size and the range of their services, airports often seem to be a city within a city. Pulling together airports from all over the world, this book presents a full picture of airport buildings built in the last few years. It also peers behind the scenes into new design plans, revealing ideas that are waiting to happen. As well as visions that may or may not be realized, the book shows many projects which will definitely take shape in the near future.
