| Summary: | "Airports are among the most complex and intensively used buildings of our time, designed for tens of millions of passengers a year and handling, largely unseen, huge quantities of baggage and freight. Rarely has a single building type provided such opportunities for fine, adventurous architecture around the globe." "This book illustrates the latest work of leading world architects such as Kisho Kurokawa, Norman Foster, Renzo Piano, Richard Rogers and SOM. It charts the phenomenal success of specialist builders in the field, such as the worldwide practice of Aeroports de Paris, and examines the new generation of European terminals."--BOOK JACKET. |
