Discover the past history and future possibilities of airport design in this extraordinarily delightful book packaged with a special Z-binding. Open one side to explore history, current trends and pop culture imagery...flip the book over to soar into a world of possibilities in a visual voyage through the Airport of the Future. A book of high design, soaring humour and elevated ideas, it is the perfect way to discover a building type that most have experienced but few understand in detail. Featuring the architecturally innovative designs of the award-winning firm Fentress Architects, the stunning illustrations include those from the Denver International Airport, LAX, the San Jose International Airport, the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, the Raleigh-Durham International Airport and the Incheon International Airport in Seoul, South Korea. Powerful graphics, engaging text and whimsical comic strips examine these complex public spaces that serve billions of people annually. Developed to support an international touring exhibition organised by the Denver Art Museum with noted curator Donald Albrecht, the book stands on its own as an accessible mix of academic commentary and playful exploration.
