i was going to say something similar... it's pretty unassuming from the outside, and very minimal inside. if it were mine, i'd have to have some hooks on the wall for my fork and spade. -

Beijing Airport
Beijing, China, 2003-2008
The world’s largest and most advanced airport building - not only technologically, but also in terms of passenger experience, operational efficiency and sustainability – Beijing Airport will be welcoming and uplifting. A symbol of place, its soaring aerodynamic roof and dragon-like form will celebrate the thrill of flight and evoke traditional Chinese colours and symbols. -

they've "done" al the square ideas?
i really liked the "graffiti faced" building i saw the other day (website). somewhere in spain, i think. the building was square, but the facade was covered with swirls that remind you of a tag-covered wall. -
